Getting the best vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and picking the right Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 5BR\/3BA - Beautiful, Ocean View Home-Close to the Beach, Sleeps 12 has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC attraction you simply love, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect 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.
