Tips and Tricks to get the best Ocean Isle Beach vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting and booking the best Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Stunning Island Park Home with Private Dock! Only the Birds have Better Views! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the host before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

During your stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. text the host right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
