Rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Ocean-View 'Sea Gem' Bungalow: Steps to Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you simply love, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• 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.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
