Strategies to get the optimal Southport rental experience:

When to reserve a Southport rental home & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. Reserve your Southport rental home in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental home:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Blue Fish Shack: 4 Bed\/3 Bath Waterway Home with Private Boat Dock has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• If there's an individual Southport destination you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
