Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
