Getting the best Wilmington vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 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 ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best rental:

• Choose vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Luxe Wilmington Home: 2 Mi to Historic Downtown has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC attraction you long to visit, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
