Under the description of Sunset Beach as one of the best, National Geographic talks about the Kindred Spirit Mailbox.

Tips for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing and booking the perfectrental:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Sandown South - Oceanfront living at it's finest! has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
