Getting the best rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best rental within budget, we suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. 5BR\/3.5BA Home - Oceanfront, POOL, Gazebo with Swing, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 12 has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or might be applied to your contract.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals 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 crabbing?
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
