How to get the best rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summer is high season in Carolina Beach. Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking the right Wilmington, NC rental home:

• To start, have your family decide on vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. La Casita-Oceanfront Oasis with Great Views has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your family.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you love, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More considerations:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
