Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the perfect vacation home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Close to Beach with Hot Tub! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your agreement.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• During arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of issues.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards 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 recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to compel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
