Our top Rental home booking tips:

Getting the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfectvacation home:

• First, have your family commit to dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Good Times and Tan Lines -Best of both worlds- Beach and Pool has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• If there's a certain Southport beach you are enamored with, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges could be applied to your contract.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
