Tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick the best Wilmington, NC rental:

• Select vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. 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.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you are crazy about, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

During your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
