Rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer months are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation rental in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Hobbs Realty - \"Beach to Beech\" offers unsurpassed views of the sparkling Atlantic ocean has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your group.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you crave, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
