Wilmington, NC rental home booking tips:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Wilmington. To get the largest rental home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking a perfectvacation home:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Bachman Tree House Figure Eight Island has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available online. If not, call the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what bed configuration is right for your family.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, record any problem areas during check in. Contact the rental manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. 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?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
