How to find the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.

You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
