Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your Wilmington, NC rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing the rightrental:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Little Blue Cottage at CB - Walk to Beach - Dog Friendly has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Know before you go:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
