Tricks and tips to get the best rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Make a plan and pick the rightvacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. ??Stunning Oceanfront Views-Pool-Beach Access-Sunflower House?? has 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is right for your family.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you are crazy about, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or may be applied to your contract.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
