How to find the best Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the most suitable rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Top Floor condo in Ocean Harbor with Views has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before reserving your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or could be applied to your agreement.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
