Our top Carolina Beach vacation rental home tips:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, change your family's Wilmington, NC trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking 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 ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking yourvacation home:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Fabulous views - right across the street from the beach! has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect 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 feedback.
