Wilmington vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental & When to go:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.

• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.

• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews.

If anything was imperfect and they failed to address 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.
