Wilmington, NC rental property booking tips:

Getting the best rental home value:

Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental property in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
Property management companies typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation home:

Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Marilyn on Monroe! 4 bedrooms, updated interior, boat dock. Close to beach access, coffee and entertainment! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, email the host before booking the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
If there's a particular Wilmington, NC destination you love, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local spots.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
Did your family have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
