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

Sticking to a budget:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer months are high season in Holden Beach. To book the best rental home within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the best rental home in Holden Beach:

• To start, have your group choose date ranges and a budget.
• Recently Updated
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the host right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
