Oak Island vacation rental tips and tricks:

Sticking to your budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the perfect rental home in Oak Island:

• Select your dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Summertime Special! ROOMY for 10 guests!, Ocean Views, Steps to Beach! Arcade! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. If they are not listed, email the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

During your stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, 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 reasonably to fix it.
