Tricks and tips to get the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the most suitable rental for your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning and picking the bestrental:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. The Great Escape- A Waterfront Retreat has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your vacation group.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often 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 on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
