Tips to get the best Wilmington vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.

More considerations:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.

• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
