Our top Vacation rental booking tips:

Getting the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Southport restaurants and activities.
• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship 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.

Choosing and booking your prefectrental:

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Miller's Whimsey - Classic Oceanfront Cottage, Private Beach Boardwalk, 2 Decks, Great Location has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a specific Southport destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
