Tips and Tricks to get the best Wilmington vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Carolina Beach restaurants and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Guesthouse in Wilmington! 5 minutes to downtown, 15 minutes to the beach! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If not, email or call the host before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas during arrival. text the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to propel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation 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.
