Strategies to get the best Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Get the most from your budget:

Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Filter your search:

Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Makin' Memories! New Owner, New Name, New Management has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
If there's a certain Wilmington, NC attraction you long to visit, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
