Strategies to get the perfect Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

How to select the perfect rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. 5BR/3.5BA - 2nd Row Home, Ocean Views, Walk to the Beach Sleeps 14 has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is best for your family.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or might be applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
