Tricks and tips to get the best Southport vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• In the Southport area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Southport vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 friends and family at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Southport area travel guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing and booking the bestrental home:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Downtown Charmer 1 is just a 10 min walk to the river has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If not, email the host before booking your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Advice for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
