How to book the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 5BR\/3.5BAHome - 2nd Row, Ocean Views, Pool, Elevator, Sleeps 12 has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If not, contact the property management company before you book the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. 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.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
