Our top Southport vacation rental home tips:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Southport trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to select the best rental in Wilmington:

• Start by having your family decide on a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Downtown Wilmington Home: Walk to Cape Fear River! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the host before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.

• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible).

Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation.
