Strategies for getting the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Booking in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and picking the perfect Wilmington, NC rental:

• First, have your group commit to a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Family home with ocean views of bald head island; plenty of deck space and screened in porch has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If not, email the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
