How to get the best rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Wilmington. To book the most suitable vacation home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose the rightvacation home:

• Select your vacation week and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Beautiful Port City Getaway, Heart of Wilmington has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• At Check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
