Booking the best Wilmington vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are high season in Wilmington. Book your Cape Fear area rental in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to choose the best vacation home:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. The Pet Friendly Port House with a Fully Fenced in Back Yard!! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the host before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
