Tips to get the best Southport vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Southport area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing a perfectvacation home:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Bernice's Teal Cottage - Downtown - New! has 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the property manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
