Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies 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 more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Rates reflect 20% discount! Bonito Breeze has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your family.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC destination you long to visit, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new 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 typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
