Rental booking tips:

Find your perfect rental:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the largest vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Southport restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine 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 articles, visitor guides have money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

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

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Genuine at Holden Beach Ocean front with private heated pool and great beach views has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the host before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Advice for your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
