Strategies to get the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation rental in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Enjoy The Coastal Breeze In This Pet Friendly Home. Sandy Paws has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property management company before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your family.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
