Tips for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• To book the best vacation home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Southport restaurants and activities.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself.
