Wilmington, NC rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to book a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. BHI Coastal Cottage short walk or cart ride to South Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. If not, call the property management company before reserving your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you crave, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address 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 feedback.
