Tips to get the optimal Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Getting the best value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, change your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose a perfectrental:

• To start, have your family choose trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Spectacular Oceanfront Condo - Once Upon A Tide has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before booking the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to propel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
