Strategies to get the perfect rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best rental home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Fully Fenced For Our Furry Friends! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Call the property manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
