Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• To get the best rental home within your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Wilmington, NC attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership 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.

Choosing the best vacation rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Charming 3BR Cottage in Carolina Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
