Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, shift your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Make a plan and choose the bestrental home:

Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Absolutely Beautiful 3 BR\/2.5 BA Beach Cottage-1 Minute to BEACH-PETS-Sleeps 8 has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If not, call the property management company before booking the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
During check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms 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 wonderful time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
