Tips for getting the perfect Southport rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Summer months are the most expensive season in the Southport area. Reserve your rental home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
Many rental management companies supply Southport area visitor guides which include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing your Southport vacation home:

Select vacation dates and spending budget.
Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. 3 BR Cozy home on the NE side of the Island has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available online. Otherwise, contact the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your trip.
Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
Upon check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
