Of note, this is Coastal NC, and we have "palmetto bugs" which are giant waterbugs that live by the thousands outside. Open doors or windows will allow simple entry to these opportunists...and they are ugly. Having moved from the midwest, we know they are awful to see, but we are used to seeing them outside now. Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent our guests from seeing one of these occasionally indoors, as we treat for them often, and this causes them to come inside looking for shade and water as they die. That being said, we do not offer a refund to a guest who sees a palmetto bug in our units.

We strongly suggest purchasing private travel insurance as we do not offer refunds for trip interruptions or weather. Hurricane season runs from June 1-November 30 in NC, with most activity in September and October. If Wilmington evacuates before your stay begins, then we would certainly refund.

Tips to get the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Coastal Retreat, 9 Min to the Beach, 12 Min to Downtown Riverwalk has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you book your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC attraction you are crazy about, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often 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?
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss 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.
