Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, 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.

Choosing the best vacation rental in Wilmington:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Fenced Yard with Patio and Fire Pit Close to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is best for your trip.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
