• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental.

• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Filter your search:

• First and foremost, have your family choose trip dates and a budget.

• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you simply love, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.

• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
