Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental home value:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best value, shift your family's Wilmington, NC vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Float My Boat on the canal in OIB! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
