Strategies for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

How to choose and book yourrental home:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Beautiful Waterfront Cottage has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your group.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you simply love, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your contract.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
