How to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Reserve your Wilmington, NC vacation home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• 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, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local tours and attractions.

• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review.

If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
