Our top Rental home tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front 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 vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting and booking the best Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• First, have your family commit to trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Serenity's Star - West End Oceanfront - Fantastic Views! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is best for your trip.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
