Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

How to select the best vacation rental:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. A Bella Vista: Comfortable Gathering Space with Breathtaking Views has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC attraction you crave, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Know before you go:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. 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 you have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
