Strategies to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing the right Wilmington, NC rental home:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. 5min to Attractions, Shops & Beach + Yard Games has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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 agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you long to visit, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
