Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best vacation rental in Bald Head Island:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Doc House - Charming Ocean + Maritime Forest Home, Private Boardwalk, BHI Club, Near Marina, Pets OK has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the host before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you crave, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
