Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Modern Oceanfront Cottage with Direct Beach Access & Near Pier has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If not, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
