Wilmington, NC vacation rental tips:

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

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Wilmington, NC vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect rental home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Cozy Duplex only 0.5 mile walk to public beach access has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If not, call the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically 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 BBQ?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
