Wilmington, NC rental home tips:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• To book the best rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Beachy Keen ~Charming Dog Friendly Cottage-Walk to Beach! Sleeps 6 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you long to visit, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
