How to book the best vacation home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Finding the best vacation home:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Hobbs Realty - \"Go Barefootin\" at this beautiful five-bedroom home with a private swimming pool and a hot tub has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• If there's a specific Southport attraction you are crazy about, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. message the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective 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 feedback.
