Tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for local shops and restaurants.

Selecting and booking your prefect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Smith's Bermuda / 914 E Beach Drive - Coastal Vacation Resorts has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is best for your family.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
