How to find the best Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Booking in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Oceanview cottage steps to beach access and close to Marina, BHI has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC attraction you love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
