Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Bald Head Island. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, 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.

Choosing the best rental home:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Quintessential BHI escape. NEW! Updated Beach House has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If not, email or call the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, note any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your life at home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about 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 it a point as part of your review.
