Our top Wilmington, NC vacation rental home tips:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guides have coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the perfect rental home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Stairway to Historic Charm! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you crave, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean 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.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
