How to book the best vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the largest vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC 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 during the high season.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. 5BR/3.5BAHome - 2nd Row, Ocean Views, Pool, Elevator, Sleeps 12 has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking pages. If not, email the host before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
