Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Southport rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Southport area visitor guides which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book the rightrental:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. LUXURY 2BR, 2BA top floor condo with AMAZING OCEAN views and pool! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If not, email or call the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to compel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
