Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Carolina Beach rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, shift your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides that include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Sea-renity at Driftwood Villas has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the host right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
