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

When to visit Wilmington & When to book:

• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. The SodaPalm - walk to Downtown has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. 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 reasonably to remedy it.
