Tips and Tricks for getting the best Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. Booking in Fall or Spring months is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book your Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. 5-Minute Walk to Beach & Boardwalk, Private Porch! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your group.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your life at home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
