Rental booking tips:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To book the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Rusty Anchor OKI - Walk to the Beach, Pet Friendly, Fenced Yard! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. Otherwise, reach out to the host before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is best for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
