Our top Rental booking tips:

Find your perfect rental:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Southport. Book your vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• First, have your family agree to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Shadow Lakes Retreat ~Golfing, Beaches, 10 Min to OKI, Southport Ferry has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
