Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation rental experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Summer months are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and picking the perfectrental home:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Across The Street From The Beach, Private Beach & Pool Access, Elevator has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
