Our top Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking a perfect Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• First, have your family select the best dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Breathtaking Ocean Front Condo at Caswell Beach. Norah Patrick's Hideaway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the rental manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets 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 you have a fantastic vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
