Our top Oak Island rental home booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. 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 information, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC beach you long to visit, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
