Tips and Tricks to get the very best vacation rental experience:

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

June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing the best rental home:

First and foremost, have your group commit to dates and a maximum budget.
Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. 6 BR\/6 Ba family friendly home with pool and hot tub! has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
During check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
