Tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.

Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is best for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
