Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. MilRay: Dog-friendly Home Centrally Located in Yaupon Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. message the host right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
