Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• To find the best value, consider shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking the best Southport rental:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 5BR 5.5BA House-Oceanfront; Ocean, ICW & Lighthouse Views; Sleeps 10 has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your trip.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs applied to your contract.

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
