Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Southport rental experience:

When to visit Wilmington & When to reserve a rental home:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. To find the best value, consider changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in Wilmington:

• Start by having your group decide on trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The Cottage on Park (2 miles from Wrightsville Beach) has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your vacation.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, record any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss 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 comments.
