Tricks and tips to get the perfect Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the largest rental within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose and book the bestvacation home:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Bring Your Dog to this Oceanfront Home and \"Linger Longer\"-Sleeps 8 has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Tips for a great stay:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
