How to book the best vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose and book a perfect Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• Choose your dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Wonderful Cottage on the Lagoon! 2 Carts, Beach Gear, Wifi. Recently updated and pet friendly! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is right for your vacation group.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
