Tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Get the best rental value:

Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the largest vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
Property management companies usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation home:

First, have your family agree to dates and a maximum budget.
Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Renovated A-Frame Steps From Beach Access & Publix has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
If there's a certain Wilmington, NC attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Know before you go:

Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few concerns.
Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
