Tips to get the very best Brunswick area vacation home experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Wilmington. To book the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation home in Wilmington:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Lux Historic Dist. – Walking Distance to Riverwalk has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
