Strategies to get the perfect Southport rental experience:

When to book a Southport rental home & When to go:

• Summertime is high season in the Southport area. To get the best value, consider changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. 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 family and friends at the beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

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

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Fredonia on Front ! Best Location Downtown! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, note any problem areas during check in. Speak to the host right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
