Finding the best Southport rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To find the largest rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book your Southport vacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 1601-C U @ the Beach: Dog-friendly Home with Spectacular Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend 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 pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
