Strategies for getting the perfect Southport rental experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Southport area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 2BR\/2BA Condo - Ocean View, Walk to Beach, Seasonal Pool, Sleeps 5 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before booking the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your trip.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you crave, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Speak to the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
