Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your Wilmington, NC vacation home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting and booking the perfectvacation home:

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Friendly 3BR townhome with fenced in yard! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If not, email the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
