Strategies for getting the perfect Wilmington rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. To book the most suitable rental within your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Southport restaurants and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides which include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Luxe Wilmington Home: 2 Mi to Historic Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

• To make sure damages are not linked to your visit, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
