How to find the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Carolina Beach. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is an excellent way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• Start by having your family commit to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Pelican Watch 1004 Oceanfront Balcony with indoor and outdoor Pool has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you book the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what is suitable for your family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Advice for your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many concerns.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Document any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
