Rental home tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the most suitable rental for your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• 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 family.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and choose the perfectrental:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. 4 Bedroom 2 Bath House, 2nd Row, Ocean Views, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 8 has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you simply love, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• During check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually 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 fine dining?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
