Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the most suitable rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Make a plan and pick your prefectvacation home:

• To start, have your group commit to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. The Loft at Alley 76\n\n has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
