Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Wilmington vacation home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your Southport vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfect Southport rental home:

Start by selecting your vacation dates and a max budget.
Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Historic Gem Upstairs Near Downtown w\/parking has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
If there's a particular Southport beach you are enamored with, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
