Tricks and tips to get the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Southport rental home:

• Summer months are high season in Southport. Booking in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide 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 articles, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfectrental home:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Anchor House Southport has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC beach you love, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. text the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
