Tricks and tips for getting the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, try changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Oceanfront Cottage w\/ 3 Floors & Renovated Kitchen: Escape to Narnia has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Have a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
