How to find the best vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Figure Eight Island\/Gorgeous Sunsets Overlooking Sound With Deep Water Dock has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the host before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC attraction you long to visit, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• During check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
