Our top Bald Head Island rental booking tips:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best vacation home within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Begin by choosing vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Oceanfront, separate detached suite with rental of home, BHI has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC attraction you simply love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to compel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
