Tricks and tips to get the optimal Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• To find the largest rental within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by having your group agree to a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. 0.2 Miles to Beach Access
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors 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 fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
