Strategies to get the very best Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, try changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family 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 or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing a perfect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Select your vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Beachaholic: Sunny, Dog-Friendly Beach Cottage with Fenced Yard has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property manager before booking your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is right for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you long to visit, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your visit, record any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the host immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
