Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation home experience:

When to book a Wilmington, NC rental home & When to go:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• To book the largest rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and choosing your Wilmington, NC rental:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. The Blue House at Carolina Beach, swim spa, ping pong, bikes & pet friendly! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you simply love, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any 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.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to drive future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to 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.
