Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer is high season in Southport. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Waterfront Retreat walkable to the best shops, restaurants, & charm of Southport has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to inspire more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
