Booking the best Southport rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First, have your family commit to dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Spacious 3 bedroom House with screen porch .6 mile from downtown Southport, NC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Call the host immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your life at home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out 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 fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
