How to book the best Wilmington vacation home experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect rental in Wilmington:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Unique deluxe houseboat at Port City Marina named the “Sea Ranch” has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• 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 go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
