Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose and book the rightrental:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Afternoon Delight: Oceanfront, Dog-friendly Home with Sun Deck and Covered Decks has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many difficulties.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
