Our top Vacation rental home tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Book your Wilmington, NC rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Planning and choosing your prefect Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• First, have your family decide on the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Dog friendly, oceanfront home 4BR/2BA, 5 minute walk to main island attractions. has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. message the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
