Tips to get the optimal vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in Wilmington. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your search:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Cheerful Coastal Cottage, Minutes to the Beaches has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to drive future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
