Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and choosing a perfect Wilmington, NC rental home:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Relaxing 4br\/2ba home accoss street from beach access, pet friendly! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If not, call the property management company before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the property manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct 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 review.
