Our top Southport rental booking tips and tricks:

Find your perfect vacation home:

June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Book your Southport rental property in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
Look for your local visitors guide when you check-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 information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and choosing your prefectrental home:

Start by having your group select trip dates and a spending budget.
Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 3Min Walk to Beach w\/Marsh View: Bright Spacious Family Home has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your family.
Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
During check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Did you have a great time? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
