Vacation rental tips:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation.
