Our top Wilmington vacation rental home tips:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Arts and Antiques flat - sleeps 4! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers 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 host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
