Our top Wilmington rental property booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your budget:

Reserve your Brunswick area vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and picking the bestrental:

Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Adorable 1942 Cottage in Historic Sunset Park w/Separate Living Quarters has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation.
Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

More considerations:

Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
At Check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
