Finding the best Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To book the largest rental for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. At Turtle Cottage: Oceanfront Home with Spacious Deck, Close to Pier and Restaur has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your group.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you crave, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order 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 feedback.
