Strategies to get the very best rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to pick the best rental home:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Anchor Down - Ocean & Canal Views, Close to Beach Access, Pier, Freeman Park, Outdoor Space, Grill has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. message the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually 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 fishing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
