Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some hosts offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain deals for local tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestrental home:

• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Right on the beach, wonderful views of the ocean, great house! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, call the host before you book the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation.

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Document any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
