Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking yourrental home:

• First, have your family select the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. The Regency - Houseboat Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is best for your trip.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your contract.

Tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good feedback to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
