Tips to get the perfect rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. 1860 House In the Heart of Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

Know before you go:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. message the host right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
