Wilmington, NC rental home tips:

Get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your Wilmington, NC vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting and booking your prefectrental home:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Just 3 Blocks from the beach! Exceptional Water\/Marsh View From Deck has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is best for your vacation.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
