Finding the best rental experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and choose the perfectvacation home:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Quaint OCEANFRONT Getaway*WEST BEACH\/STEPS FROM POINT*Sleeps 8*GREAT VIEWS*Clean has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the property manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
