Wilmington, NC rental property booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your family select a vacation week and a spending budget.

• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
