Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to a budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Wilmington. To get the best value, shift your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by having your group commit to a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Downtown Charmer 1 is just a 10 min walk to the river has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your trip.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
