Strategies to get the best Southport vacation property experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Summer time is high season in the Southport area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Dock on Canal, Close to Beach and Dog Friendly with a fenced in backyard! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Southport attraction you long to visit, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
