Tricks and tips to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, change your family's Wilmington, NC vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the best vacation home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. 10% Off 7 Days for non-Summer rentals, 15% Off 30 Days + 2 Golf Carts! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your trip.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
