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

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, 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 specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Cute cottage in downtown Southport, walk to town has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.

Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is right for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Contact the host immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
