Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

When to visit Wilmington & When to book:

• In the Southport area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the most suitable vacation home within budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Southport restaurants and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for local shops and restaurants.

Selecting the perfect rental home in the Southport area:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Wilmington Surf Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.

• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.

Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective.
