Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

• To book the most suitable rental within budget, we suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. \"Idle Hour\" Family Friendly Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. Otherwise, call the property manager before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few issues.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
