Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Southport vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. To get the best rental within budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Southport attractions.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Beachside Cottage Steps From the Ocean! has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. Otherwise, call the host before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on good reviews to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
