Strategies to get the optimal Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

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

• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To book the best rental home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking yourrental home:

• To start, have your family agree to vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. \"Sweet Tea By the Sea\" is a spectacular oceanfront home with two living areas. has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
