Tricks and tips to get the optimal Southport rental home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Reserve your rental home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Southport area visitor guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a group leader, select your dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Fabulous views - right across the street from the beach! has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If not, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you are enamored with, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a great stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
