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

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Wave Watcher! Oceanfront on the Boardwalk! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If not, email the property management company before booking your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your trip.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on good reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
