Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront 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 near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which include money-saving deals, either offered independently 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 shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

Select your vacation dates and max budget.
Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Beautiful Oceanfront Home with Elevator - Formerly Tern Inn-443639 has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking websites. If not, email the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your group.
If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.
If there's an individual Wilmington, NC attraction you simply love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of issues.
Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peace. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
