Our top Southport vacation rental tips:

When to visit Sunset Beach & When to book:

Summertime is high season in the Southport area. Book your Southport rental home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
Property management companies often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have deals for local tours and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation rental:

Start by having your group commit to the best dates and a maximum budget.
Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Five minutes to glorious Sunset Beach and park! Convenient and quiet! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your trip.
Does your family require special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did you have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix 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 feedback.
