Southport vacation rental booking tips:

Finding your perfect rental home:

Summer months are high season in the Southport area. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
Property managers typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
Look for your local Southport visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfect Southport vacation home:

First and foremost, have your group choose dates and a budget.
Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 5BR\/2.5BA Home - Only 1 block to the beach, Sleeps 12 has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If not, call the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is right for your family.
Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your contract.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Walk through the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
