Booking the best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting and booking your prefect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Start by having your family commit to vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. \"Air\" Cottage @ Bald Head Island - walking distance to ferry & restaurants has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If not, reach out to the host before reserving the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is right for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. Speak to the rental manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
