Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your rental property in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestvacation home:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. 5BR\/2 Full & 2 Half Bath Home - Oceanfront, STEPS FROM BEACH, Sleeps 16 has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If not, email the property manager before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
