Strategies for getting the best vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• To book the best vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick your Wilmington, NC rental:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Historic Emerald Gem ~ Walk to Downtown Wilmington! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
