How to find the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• To start, have your family choose dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Serenity by the Sea: Nostalgic Oceanfront Home with Room for the Whole Family has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you love, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Have a great stay:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect your property!
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. 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 reasonably to fix it.
