Southport rental booking tips and tricks:

When to reserve a Southport rental & When to go:

• Summertime is high season in Holden Beach. To find the most suitable rental within budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Southport restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have deals for local shops and restaurants.

How to choose the perfect rental:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Luxury oceanfront beach home in gated community Holden Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean 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 your family have a excellent time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
