Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer months are high season in Carolina Beach. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-in. 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, travel guides contain deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Top Floor condo in Ocean Harbor with Views has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.

• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
