Finding the best Wilmington rental home experience:

When to visit Wilmington & When to reserve a rental home:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summer time is high season in Wilmington. Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• First and foremost, have your group agree to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Golden Girls Cottage in Historic Mansion District has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you crave, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Know before you go:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• During check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
