Our top Rental home tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, try shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to pick the best vacation rental in Oak Island:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Amazing Dog Friendly Home w\/ Fenced Back Yard Oasis, Near Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC destination you crave, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or may be applied to your agreement.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
