Tips and Tricks for getting the best rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best rental home in Carolina Beach:

• Start by selecting vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. Cotton's Cottage - Bullard Realty has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you are crazy about, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to propel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
