How to book the best rental home experience:

Finding the best value:

• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Cozy Cottage: Minutes to Downtown Southport! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If not, email the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you crave, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
