Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Finding the best value:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the best rental home:

• Select your vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oceanfront House-Sleeps 8-10 Rec Room and Theater Room has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many concerns.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• During arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
