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

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. 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 your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First, have your family decide on vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. The Perfect Luxury Ocean Front Condo Vacation, Private Parking & Beach Access has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the host before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
