Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Wilmington rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Brunswick area rental home:

• Book your Brunswick area rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation 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 generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation home in Wilmington:

• Choose your vacation dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Golden Girls Cottage in Historic Mansion District has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area beach you crave, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the rental manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss 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 review.
