Our top Oak Island vacation rental tips:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. New Listing! Modern Retreat w\/ Hot Tub + Fire Pit has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before reserving the property.

• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.

• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the property manager right away to record any pre-existing damages.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
