Tricks and tips to get the best Wilmington vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Summer time is high season in Wilmington. To book the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Brunswick area attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area travel guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Classic, Comfortable, Convenient - the best of Old Wilmington has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area beach you are crazy about, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
