Finding the best rental home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best vacation home within budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Stunning Family Getaway - Water Views, Easy Boat Launch has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If not, email the host before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.

• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.

• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
