Tips to get the perfect Wilmington vacation home experience:

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

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your vacation in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in the Southport area:

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Comfy bungalow - HEATED POOL!! pets ok has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a certain Southport beach you love, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please 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 fix it.
