Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Wilmington vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Book your vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select your vacation dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. The Art Loft - A Luxurious 2-BdRm in the Heart of Historic Downtown Wilmington has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area destination you simply love, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
