Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation property experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the best rental in the Southport area:

• Start by having your family choose date ranges and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. 4BR\/3.5BA House, 2nd Row with Water Views, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 11 has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Southport attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas during arrival. message the property manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
