Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation home experience:

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

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Wilmington. To get the most suitable rental within your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book the best Cape Fear area rental:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Serene & sunlit getaway with spacious rooms & great patio - near beach & golf has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
