Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• To start, have your group decide on vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Whale House #112 - Great Location, Walk to beach, sound, bars, and more! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
