Rental property booking tips:

When to book & When to go:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the most suitable rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Carolina Beach attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the perfect rental in Wilmington:

• First, have your family agree to dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Downtown Charmer 1 is just a 10 min walk to the river has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach attraction you are enamored with, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peace. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
