Tips for getting the perfect rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• To get the best rental within budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. 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 stories, travel guide magazines have deals for local shops and restaurants.

Selecting and booking the rightrental home:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Updated Oceanfront Beach House has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you crave, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
