Getting the best Wilmington vacation home experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental in Wilmington:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Modern home with lookout in the heart of downtown has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you reserve your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. 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 a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
