Rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Candy Store House: Vintage-Wow! Historic Charm Meets Modern Flair Close to Shopp has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's an individual Southport destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Some things to know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. 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?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
