Tips to get the optimal rental experience:

Getting the best value:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your Wilmington, NC rental home in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation 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 management company or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the perfect rental home:

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. 4BR\/2BA Home - 2nd Row with Ocean Views, RENOVATED, Dog friendly, Sleeps 10 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If not, reach out to the host before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges applied to your agreement.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you love, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct 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 review.
