Tips to get the best rental home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Choosing the perfect vacation home in Southport:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Newly renovated Villas minutes from the beach and historic Southport has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
