In coastal cities waterbugs are prevalent due to the warm, humid climate. We have an exterminator spray the yard and home quarterly, and even more during the summer.

Daydream_Wilmington was constructed in 1954. We, as owners, felt it was important to keep the authentic character of the home (original doors, doorknobs, wood floors, etc) while completing the renovations. Therefore, some doors might not close conveniently, the floors might squeak, or there could be other modest details you notice during your stay that come with an older home. We hope you appreciate the original, vintage vibe of our home while appreciating the modern updates of today.

Tricks and tips to get the very best Brunswick area rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Brunswick area area. Reserve your Brunswick area rental property in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. cute home close to UNCW has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.

• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.

• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. Please be objective.
