Tricks and tips for getting the best Southport vacation property experience:

When to book a Southport rental & When to go:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Bald Head Island. To get the best value, try changing your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and picking the right Southport rental home:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanfront Historical Cottage, BHI has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If not, email or call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?

• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
