Strategies for getting the best vacation rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Southport vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area travel guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Lowe Tide: Oceanfront Classic House in East Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.

Tips for a great stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, 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. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
