How to book the best rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your Wilmington, NC rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Filter your search:

• Choose dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Practically Perfect on West Beach - Just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you crave, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or applied to your invoice.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. message the rental manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address 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 feedback.
