Strategies for getting the best Southport rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain coupons for local tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing the bestrental home:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Ginger Mermaid \/ 916 E Dolphin Drive - Coastal Vacation Resorts has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Southport attraction you crave, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

During your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
