Getting the best vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and pick your prefect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Choose vacation dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Taylor House has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
