How to book the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• To book the largest rental for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the perfect vacation home:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. PRIVACY ON THE BEACH-Sleeps 8 with Private Pool has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before booking your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC attraction you love, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss 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.
