• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions 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 usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your visit, note any problem areas during check in. Speak to the host right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.

• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property 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.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
