Tips and Tricks for getting the best vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Harper Haven - Charming Beach Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before you book the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. message the rental manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many concerns.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
