Tips and Tricks to get the very best vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental home in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 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 evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the perfect rental home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• To start, have your group agree to the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Lovely 3BR, 2 BA Oak Island Sea Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• 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.

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the property manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. 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.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families 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 property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
