Strategies to get the optimal Southport rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Holden Beach. To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking a perfectvacation home:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Charming beach cottage with Intercoastal views for restful vacation has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
