Strategies to get the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area 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 stories, visitors guides contain money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First and foremost, have your family choose a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Gray Gull \/ 1003 West Beach Drive - Coastal Vacation Resorts has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property manager before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is right for your vacation family.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
