Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Book your Wilmington, NC vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 4BR/2BA Home - Only a Short Walk to the Beach, Sleeps12 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC attraction you long to visit, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
