Strategies to get the optimal Southport vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Booking in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. 1916 Coastal Grandmother & modern ADU with firepit has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• 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.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix 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.
