Our top Wilmington rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your Brunswick area vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental home in the Brunswick area area:

• Select vacation dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Cape Fear Cottage in Downtown Wilmington has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area destination you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your life at home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
