Strategies for getting the best Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Finding the best rental home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• First and foremost, have your family select dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Short walk to the beach Dog friendly too! Docking for boaters! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Note any damages to the property during 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 a dispute is filed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
