Tricks and tips to get the optimal Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summer months are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oak Island Cottage: Minutes to Long Beach! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the property manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
