Booking the best rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. 3BR/3BA House, Walk to Beach, Ocean and Marsh Views, Event Home, Sleeps 8 has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you reserve your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC destination you love, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Advice for your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the host right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to drive new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation rental. 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 fix it.
