Tips for getting the best Wilmington, NC rental home 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 reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Great family Beach home has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.

• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!

• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?

• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
