Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting the best rental home:

• Choose your dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Renovated 7BR 3.5BA Duplex-Style House, Walk to Beach, Ocean View, Sleeps 14 has 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If not, call the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your stay, record any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
