Our top Wilmington rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Southport area. To get the best value, shift your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Historic Downtown Wilmington- Walk to Riverwalk, Bars, Weddings- Easy Beach Trip has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you love, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
