Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• 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 book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. 5 bedroom home in creek estates, private crofter and maritime forest views has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC destination you long to visit, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
