Strategies to get the perfect vacation property experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the largest vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Gull Cottage: Oceanfront house in Yaupon Beach near the Oak Island Fishing Pier has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before booking your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.

• During arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
