Brunswick area rental booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer months are high season in Wilmington. To find the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Brunswick area restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the best rental in Wilmington:

• First and foremost, have your group choose vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Downtown Wilmington Home: Walk to Cape Fear River! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the host before you book your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
