Strategies for getting the best Wilmington vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• 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 reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and choosing your prefect Southport rental:

• First, have your family decide on trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Cape Fear Cottage in Downtown Wilmington has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

Advice for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix 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 comments.
