Getting the best rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your Wilmington, NC vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by having your family choose trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Executive seaside cottage with detached Crofter Cottage. has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property manager before booking the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to inspire more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
