Tips and Tricks to get the very best rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, shift your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Kraken Kove: Gorgeous Getaway Between Beach and Intracoastal Waterway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you love, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your visit, note any problem areas during check in. text the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
