Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving 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 vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Classic Oceanfront Home; Two-minute Walk to Water's Edge has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you are enamored with, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or applied to your invoice.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. text the property manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
