Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your Wilmington, NC vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. 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 a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain deals for local tours and attractions.

How to choose and book the best Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oasis in cape fear station forest with wildlife views has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
