Wilmington, NC vacation rental tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your prefect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. SL1501L: Starfish Cottage Lower: Oceanfront, Dog-Friendly Vintage Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the property manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically 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?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review 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 quickly to solve it.
