Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Bald Head Island rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfect Wilmington, NC rental home:

• To start, have your family decide on date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Welcome to Saltmarsh Retreat on Bald Head Island! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before booking the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you love, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect your property!
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
