Strategies for getting the best Wilmington rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Wilmington, NC vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by choosing vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Water Street Hideaway has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
