Tips to get the best rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Booking in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Southport area visitor guides which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• If there's a specific Southport attraction you are crazy about, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.

More considerations:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.

• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review.
