Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Bald Head Island vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Southport area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Book your Southport vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Southport rental home:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Marsh Onward!: 5 BR, 4 BA House in Bald Head Island, Sleeps 12 has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, call the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
