Tips and Tricks for getting the best vacation property experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Southport. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. 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 information, visitor guides have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• To start, have your family agree to a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. St James Vacation Condo\/TH Rental - Southport NC - Cottage Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before booking the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Call the property manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
