Finding the best Wilmington rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Wilmington. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• 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 special rate.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Brunswick area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental home:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Figure Eight Island\/Gorgeous Sunsets Overlooking Sound With Deep Water Dock has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If not, email the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
