Our top Rental home tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Southport. To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the best rental home in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Cozy Cottage: Minutes to Downtown Southport! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the host before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or could be applied to your agreement.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. Call the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
