Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 2024-25 WINTER PRICE DROP! Renovated, 1 BR 1.5 Bath Condo steps from the Ocean has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is best for your vacation family.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• 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 manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
