Tricks and tips to get the very best rental experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home & When to go:

• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect rental home in Southport:

• To start, have your family agree to dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Tranquil Tides Cottage 3 miles from the Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.

• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.

• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
