Booking the best Wilmington vacation property experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Summer time is high season in Wilmington. To book the best rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Wrightsville Beach attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. The Enchanted Cottage
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the host before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
