Tips and Tricks to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. LUXURY 2BR, 2BA top floor condo with AMAZING OCEAN views and pool! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order 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 feedback.
