Tips and Tricks to get the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Wilmington, NC vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting the best vacation home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Start by having your family choose dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Newly Updated and Centrally Located Luxury Condo with Wonderful Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
