Wilmington rental home booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To get the best value, consider changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 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 disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking the best Cape Fear area rental home:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Orange Crush Cottage: Downtown, Beaches, & Dining has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
