Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect vacation home:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. 4 Bedroom Upscale Duplex with a Pool has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you book the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
