Getting the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, 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 months.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Float My Boat on the canal in OIB! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
