How to find the best rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• To get the largest rental within budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Southport attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. A Shore Thing - Great Location! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what is best for your vacation.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
