Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental home experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 4BR\/3BA 2nd Row Home, Ocean View, Sleeps 10 has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before you book your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is optimal for your family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective 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 review.
