Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing your prefect Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. \"Making Memories\" - PET FRIENDLY Oceanfront Home w\/ Private Pool, 5 Bedrooms \/ 5.5 Bathrooms has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC destination you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. 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.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
