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

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best value, try changing your family's Wilmington, NC vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the best vacation rental:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Ocean views from the large deck upstairs; screened in porch and private crofter has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you crave, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Call the rental manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to drive future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
