Strategies for getting the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your Wilmington, NC vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• To start, have your group choose trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Perfect Downtown Location / Unique Historic Charm / Modern Updates has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC destination you long to visit, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Have a wonderful stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Call the rental manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. 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?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
