THE BEACH:
We may be biased, but we believe it is one of the nicest beaches on the east coast with great sand. The beach is wide and not as busy as most. The Carolina Beach Boardwalk (voted 3rd best boardwalk in the country by USA Today in 2016) is fast walk if you are looking for eateries, bars, and amusement. However, if you would like a more casual low-key vibe, just walk one block to your own stretch of heaven.

• Visit the Fort Fisher Aquarium
• Sample beers and play Frisbee golf at the island's own microbrewery

Strategies to get the optimal vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your Wilmington, NC rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family 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 whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have deals for local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. YOUR CAROLINA BEACH VACATION!!! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is suitable for your family.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you crave, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peace. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
