Our top Vacation rental tips:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. 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 family and friends at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking the perfectvacation home:

• First, have your group select vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Historic Downtown Wilmington- Walk to Riverwalk, Bars, Weddings- Easy Beach Trip has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. Otherwise, contact the property management company before booking your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges could be applied to your contract.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
