Our top Wilmington, NC vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to visit Wilmington & When to book:

• Summer time is high season in Wilmington. To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Selecting the perfect vacation home in Wilmington:

• First, have your group decide on vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 5?Downtown Abbey*Historic District*Free Parking*Lush Gardens*All New has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
