Strategies for getting the best rental home experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

• Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Once Upon a Tide: Spacious Oceanfront Home with Heated Pool, Electric Car Charge has 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
