Our top Vacation rental home tips:

Sticking to a budget:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summer months are high season in Bald Head Island. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the best vacation rental in Bald Head Island:

• Choose your dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Wonderful Cottage on the Lagoon! 2 Carts, Beach Gear, Wifi. Recently updated and pet friendly! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to compel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
