Tips and Tricks to get the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• To get the best value, consider changing your family's Wilmington, NC trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Selecting the best vacation rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• First, have your group commit to date ranges and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. 4BR\/3BA Home-Hot Tub-Close to Public Boat Ramp-3 Min to the Beach has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before booking your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors 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 shopping?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared 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 could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
