How to find the best vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Holden Beach. Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy beautiful 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 unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and choosing a perfect Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Get ready for a wonderful Southern welcome at this newly renovated duplex, Carolina Belle! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If not, call the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
