Tips for getting the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• To get the most suitable rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation rental in the Southport area:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Easy Walk to Beach, Boardwalk, & Lake! King Beds! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

During your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review 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 remedy it.
