Tricks and tips to get the very best rental experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the perfect vacation home in Wilmington:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Lakeside Bliss 1 Hr. from Dallas has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC beach you are crazy about, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
