Tips and Tricks for getting the best vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, shift your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Southport area visitors guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the best rental home in the Southport area:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Close to the beach cottage within 1 mile of Carolina Beach Bridge has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• During check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect 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 review.
