Finding the best rental home experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your Southport rental property in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Oceanfront Bald Head Home with Private Boardwalk to the Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• If there's an individual Southport destination you simply love, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the property manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
