Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Wilmington rental experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Summer months are high season in Wilmington. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book 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 host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving 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 Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in the Southport area:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. UNCW Midtown Ranch Home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Contact the host immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
