Strategies to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property 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.

Narrow your Search:

• To start, have your family choose vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Sea Oats Cottage is a 5 BR\/ 5 BA South Beach second-row oceanfront retreat! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. text the host right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peace. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
