Rental home booking tips:

Finding the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Wilmington. To get the largest vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Cozy Cottage near UNCW, Central Location to All! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is right for your group.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
