Tricks and tips to get the perfect Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Wilmington, NC vacation in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. New! Pet-Friendly Ocean View Cottage Across from Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property manager before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
