Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your rental in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Pet friendly, short walk to beach, super clean has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
