Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing and booking the best Southport rental home:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. 10BR 12 Full Bath, 2 Half Bath Home, Ocean View, Dog Friendly, 2 Pools, Sleeps has 11 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you book the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Southport attraction you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of issues.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, 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 described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
