How to book the best Sunset Beach rental home experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful 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 the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Third Row Beach Home with Basketball Court on Gorgeous Sunset Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your life at home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
