Tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the most suitable rental home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Memory Lane-A Family Retreat has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the host immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many concerns.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience 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 fix it.
