Wilmington, NC rental booking tips:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Ocean View\/Pool\/Dog Friendly\/Elevator\/Center of Town\/1PM Check-In\/East Beach\n has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your life at home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known!

• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
