Strategies to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• To find the best value, shift your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. A Golden Retreat -Timbercreek Upper Unit, Dog Friendly, Pool, Kayaks, Marsh\/BHI Creek, BHI Club+Golf has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is best for your vacation family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC attraction you are enamored with, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
