Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer is high season in the Southport area. Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Classic, Comfortable, Convenient - the best of Old Wilmington has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
