Finding the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking a perfect Wilmington, NC rental home:

• First, have your group agree to dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. 5BR/3.5BA Home - Oceanfront, POOL, Gazebo with Swing, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 12 has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
