Getting the best vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay 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 hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. MilRay: Dog-friendly Home Centrally Located in Yaupon Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC destination you simply love, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain no damages are linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to stimulate future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
