Strategies for getting the perfect Wilmington vacation rental experience:

Finding your best deal:

• To find the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking a perfect Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Condo Riviere Stay Downtown! Walk everywhere! has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your family.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's stay, note any problem areas during check in. Contact the property manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. 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 scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order 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 review.
