Strategies to get the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Summer months are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 3 Blocks to public beach access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently 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 BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to inspire more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
