Strategies to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

When to visit Carolina Beach & When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, shift your family's Wilmington, NC vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving 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.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. Cozy Cottage Vibes! Beachside, Huge Porch, Walk to Restaurants, Dogs Welcome has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, contact the host before you book the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
