Booking the best rental experience:

Get the best value:

• Booking in Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local shops and restaurants.

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Lumina Cottage- 6 Bedrooms; kid & dog friendly! has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC destination you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
