Tricks and tips to get the very best rental experience:

Finding your best deal:

• To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which will include coupons, 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 visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the best rental home:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. House with Boat Dock - famous Carolina Beach Canal - Intracoastal Waterway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Have a great stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
