Our top Wilmington, NC rental booking tips:

When to visit Wilmington & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To book the most suitable rental home for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. Pet-Friendly Wilmington Home ~ 5 Mi to Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
