Tricks and tips for getting the best vacation home experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Southport area. Booking your Southport vacation rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and choosing a perfectrental:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 3BR 1BA House, Game Room, Walk to Beach, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 7 has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you crave, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your stay, record any problem areas during check in. text the host right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
