Tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed 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 additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, picking, and booking yourvacation home:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. \"Holden Hands\" is a lovely beach rental with private pool and dog friendly has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before reserving the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
