How to find the best rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your vacation home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have offers and deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• First, have your family agree to dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Mountains to Sea: Bring Your Boat to this Rustic Coastal Retreat! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. If not, contact the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the host right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
