Our top Wilmington vacation rental tips:

Getting the best rental home value:

• In the Southport area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summer time is high season in Wilmington. Reserve your Southport rental in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and choosing a perfect Southport rental:

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Port City Gem \/ Modern Luxury \/ Heart of Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
