Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are high season in Wilmington. Reserve your vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select your dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Coastal Chic Cottage with pool has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Additional considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
