Finding the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Summertime is high season in Holden Beach. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• To start, have your group select the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Attractive, oceanfront house with beach access, deck, grill, & AC - near dining has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is best for your group.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Document any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
