Tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To book the largest vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally 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 catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the perfect rental:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Carpe Diem - Spectacular Ocean, Waterway & Marsh Views! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or could be applied to your contract.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
