Strategies to get the perfect Southport rental experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• To get the best value, try shifting your family's Southport vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Finding the best rental in the Southport area:

• Select dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Harbor Moon - 3 miles to Oak Island! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before reserving your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Southport attraction you are enamored with, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect 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.
