Our top Rental home tips:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• To book the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

Choosing the best rental home in Carolina Beach:

• First, have your group decide on dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Gray Sails-Steps from the ocean has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during check in. Contact the property manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
