Strategies for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• To book the largest rental for your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing the perfectrental home:

• First, have your group choose date ranges and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Cheerful Coastal Cottage, Minutes to the Beaches has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you are crazy about, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Call the property manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
