Rental home booking tips:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Southport area. To find the best value, consider changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Selecting and booking the rightrental home:

• Choose vacation dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. 3BR\/3BA Home - walk to the beach & shops Dog Friendly, Sleeps 8 has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you book the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. 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.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
