Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• To get the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the 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.

Selecting the best rental home:

• Start by having your family choose vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Hobbs Realty - Oceanfront Dog Friendly Home, Expanded Boardwalk w/Picnic Table, and Rocking Chairs has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. If not, contact the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your life at home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
