Appreciate painless coast living at this beach bungalow with a pretty view of the ocean! The 'Thomas Cottage' is constructed for relaxation, which means guests can appreciate helpful amenities like central air-conditioning no matter the time of year. After some time on the sand, come back to comfortably spritz yourself clean with the outdoor shower (with both hot and cold water available). You'll appreciate cooling off in the private pool after a fun outdoor hike. Savor the ocean breeze while sitting on the seats of the private deck just steps from the beach, then head inside to savor a movie nighttime with friends.

Finding the best vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Southport rental property in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and choosing the best Southport rental home:

• Start by having your family commit to a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Oceanfront home with private pool, ocean views, outdoor shower, & beach access has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the host before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or may be applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Have a fantastic stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the rental manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix 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 comments.
