Strategies for getting the perfect Southport vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Summer time is high season in the Southport area. To find the best value, try changing your family's Southport trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. The Historic Lovely Loft ~ Walk to Downtown Wilmington! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If there's a specific Southport beach you love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically 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?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. 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.
