Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Bald Head Island. To book the best rental within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local tours and attractions.

Finding the best rental home:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Morning Light - Featured Home in 2010 Haven Magazine has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If not, email the host before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Southport beach you love, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
