Our top Wilmington, NC vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• To find the largest rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing the right Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 2 Bdrm\/2 Bath Condo, Pool, Elevator, Close To Beach!, Sleeps 7 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to inspire more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
