The space
Appreciate your morning coffee in the open living room and kitchen area that overlooks the humongous backyard. Rest under the umbrella and appreciate watching your friends and family poolside. At nighttime, Roast s’mores and relax by the fire pit underneath the twinkling stars.

Sneak off as needed to your own room and read a book from the little library. We have books for the entire family. When you are ready to mingle, grab a board game, backgammon or challenge your family or friends to a game of Cornhole in the backyard.

Each bedroom is equipped with pillow top beds, cotton sheets, cotton comforters or quilts and additional pillows and blankets. Each closet has a pop up desk if you need it for work, etc.

The bathroom is roomy and the shower area is sizable with handicap bars. We have shampoo, conditioner, and soap. No need to pack any bathroom essentials.

Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best value:

• Book your Wilmington, NC vacation home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental home:

• Start by having your group commit to date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Cozy Poolside Bungalow - Pool is open! has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you crave, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your contract.

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss 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 feedback.
