Tips and Tricks to get the very best vacation property experience:

Getting the best value:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer time is high season in Ocean Isle Beach. To find the best value, change your family's Wilmington, NC trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Choosing and booking the best Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Stunning Island Park Home with Private Dock! Only the Birds have Better Views! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the host immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct 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 comments.
