Strategies to get the perfect Southport rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First and foremost, have your family choose dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Charming Cottage near historic downtown Wilmington. 10 min to Wrightsville Beach has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you crave, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
