Our top Southport rental property booking tips and tricks:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Summer time is high season in the Southport area. Reserve your rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine 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 articles, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing and booking your Southport rental:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. The Historic Emerald Gem ~ Walk to Downtown Wilmington! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the host right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
