Tips for getting the perfect rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Book your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• To start, have your family commit to date ranges and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Cabana Boy: Budget-friendly Oceanfront House on West Beach has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you book the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC attraction you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. text the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
