Tips for getting the best Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

Get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Wilmington. Book your vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Perfect Wilmington Retreat Near Beach & Downtown! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is optimal for your group.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the host immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
