Rental home tips:

Cost saving strategies:

In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
June, July, and August are high season in Carolina Beach. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide 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 information, visitor guides have offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing yourrental home:

Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Oceanfront Carolina Beach House - Dogs Allowed -Near Boardwalk has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation family.
Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or may be applied to your contract.
If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you simply love, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Considerations for your stay:

Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
To make sure no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
Did you have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
