Strategies to get the best Southport rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• In the Southport area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, 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 more information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area 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 information, visitor guides have coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestrental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Cabana Boy: Budget-friendly Oceanfront House on West Beach has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Southport attraction you are enamored with, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out 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 excellent time? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
