Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• To get the largest vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide 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 local stories, visitor guides contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to choose the best rental:

• Select your dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Charming 3-bedroom house close to area beachs, the river and downtown has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the host before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Southport destination you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
