Strategies to get the perfect rental home experience:

Finding the best value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your Wilmington, NC rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the perfect vacation home:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Renovated 4BR 2.5BA Duplex (lower unit), Walk to Beach, Sleeps 8 has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you simply love, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the host right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
