How to book the best Southport rental home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• To find the best vacation home within budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Southport restaurants and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and picking yourrental:

• To start, have your family agree to dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Facing the Beach\/Boardwalk Top Floor Views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property management company before reserving your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Southport beach you crave, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to propel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
