Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• To start, have your family select a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Hobbs Realty - \"Terrapin Station\" offer views of the marsh and ocean, 4 bedrooms ,and private pool has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the rental manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your life at home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
