Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summer is high season in Bald Head Island. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your prefectvacation home:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Washashore - South Beach Oceanfront Home w\/Views, Wraparound Deck, Tons of Natural Light, BHI Club has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If not, call the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More tips for your visit:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
