Tips for getting the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the best vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Family Retreat with In-Law Studio Apt has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
