Tips and Tricks to get the very best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Getting the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best rental home for your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Short walk to the beach Dog friendly too! Docking for boaters! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many concerns.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
