Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the largest vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Southport restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base 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 evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning and picking the right Southport rental:

• First, have your family commit to the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Coastal Cottage: Charming pet friendly home with great outdoor space has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Southport attraction you love, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
