Our top Wilmington, NC vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Finding the best rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Oak Island Cottage w\/ Spacious Backyard & Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
