Booking the best Wilmington rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summertime is high season in the Brunswick area area. To find the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Unique Houseboat in Port City Marina Wilmington, NC has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to drive future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
