Our top Rental booking tips:

When to book a Southport rental home & When to go:

• Summer time is high season in Wilmington. Book your Southport vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Cape Fear Coastal Hide-A-Way has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• If there's a specific Southport beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. 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 fantastic stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
