Finding the best vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• To find the largest rental home within budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Wilmington, NC attractions.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Seaside Escape-3 bedroom,dog friendly,walk to beach,fenced yard,screened porch. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If not, reach out to the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what is right for your family.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC attraction you crave, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
