Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Wilmington. Booking your Southport vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any 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 unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. UNCW Wrightsville - close to the beach has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is best for your group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Southport attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Additional considerations:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
