Getting the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking the perfectrental home:

• Choose vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. The Queen B has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
