Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• To book the most suitable rental for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Wilmington, NC attractions and restaurants.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the best vacation home in Carolina Beach:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Driftwood Cottage - First floor OCEANFRONT beach retreat! Exceptional views, location and privacy by RedAwning has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your family.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC destination you simply love, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. Call the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix 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 comments.
