Once you park your car, you can leave it there, as the bungalow sits on a one-way street that is more like a pedestrian walkway and convenient to nearly anything in town!

Vacation rental home tips:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Southport area. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can 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 guides which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the perfect rental home:

• To start, have your group commit to the best dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Updated beach cottage, ocean views. Tons of Outdoor Space! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. message the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to inspire more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
