Wilmington rental booking tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer time is high season in Wilmington. To find the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• 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 special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies supply Brunswick area area visitors guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick the rightrental home:

• Begin by choosing vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Charming Historic Empie-Possion Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area attraction you are enamored with, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
