Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental home experience:

When to visit Sunset Beach & When to book:

• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer time is high season in the Southport area. Reserve your rental property in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base 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 hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Choosing and booking a perfectvacation home:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Freshly updated canal front on one of Nat Geo's best beaches has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to compel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
