Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. To find the best value, consider shifting your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which will 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 visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing and booking the right Southport vacation home:

• First and foremost, have your family choose date ranges and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. CottageVacations4u \"Bray's Rays\" Direct OCEAN FRONT 5 br 5 ba home has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
