Our top Southport vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• In the Southport area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Selecting and booking a perfect Southport rental home:

• Start by having your group select date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Updated Wilmington Retreat ~ 2 Miles to UNCW! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is best for your vacation.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your visit, record any problem areas during check in. Contact the property manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
