Strategies for getting the best Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To book the best rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Charming, Oceanfront -4 Bedrooms\/2 Bath-Just You and the BEACH has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your trip.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Advice for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
