Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Heron's Nest - Relaxing private oasis -ideal location close to beach & downtown has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before booking the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is right for your group.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC destination you simply love, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the host right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to inspire more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. 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 solve it.
