Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the largest rental for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve 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 owner if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. MASSIVE oceanfront home perfect for families! has 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what is suitable for your family.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the host right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. 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 fix it.
