Our top Wilmington vacation rental tips:

Finding your best deal:

• Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• 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 family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• To start, have your family choose a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. All Season Comfort at the Carriage House in Wilmington. Booking now for Winter ! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents 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 BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company 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 review.
