Wilmington vacation rental home tips:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Southern Gem- Centrally Located-10 min to downtown or the beach! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of concerns.
• 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.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
