Finding the best vacation property experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting the perfect rental home:

• To start, have your group commit to the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Carefree Coastal Getaway - Walk to Long Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix 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.
