Tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Summer is high season in Southport. Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.

• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words.
