Our top Wilmington, NC vacation rental tips and tricks:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and choose the right Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Start by having your family agree to the best dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Marina 1: Spacious Townhome Within Steps of Great Restaurants, Intracoastal Wate has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
