Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Ocean Views Great Location, Dog friendly Condo, Only 200 steps to Beach, No Parking Fees has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Know before you go:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
