When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Wilmington, NC rental in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.

You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking your prefectrental:

• First, have your family commit to trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Kraken Kove: Gorgeous Getaway Between Beach and Intracoastal Waterway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.

Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
