Tricks and tips for getting the perfect rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages.

• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.

• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
