Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are high season in Wilmington. To find the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking the bestrental home:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. The Loft at Alley 76\n\n has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
