Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the largest rental within budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfect Southport vacation home:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. MOONSHINE CREEK on the Davis Canal with DOCK - Sleeps 4 - CLEAN - King Bed has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is best for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
