Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Dog-friendly gem, close drive to beach - heated pool, lovely porch & family room has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. 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 you have a excellent stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
