Notable:

Sunset Beach is ranked number 4 on National Geographic’s “21 Finest Beaches in the World” list that was just released late this week.

Under the description of Sunset Beach as one of the best, National Geographic talks about the Kindred Spirit Mailbox.

“At the west end of this remote beach, a mile from the access point, a solitary mailbox stands, planted by local Frank Nesmith in the ’70s, and continually replenished with notebooks inviting visitors to jot thoughts, dreams, wishes, and whatever else moves the spirit,” National Geographic said.

Tips to get the optimal Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, try changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely 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 magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefectvacation home:

• First, have your group choose a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Sandown South - Oceanfront living at it's finest! has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
