Tips to get the optimal Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental property in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. 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 stories, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First and foremost, have your group choose a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Oceanfront + Dog Friendly! has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the host before you book the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Speak to the property manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
