How to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to book a Southport rental & When to go:

• To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

How to choose the perfect rental in the Southport area:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Off The Clock: Quietly Tucked Away, Only Two Minutes From Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. Otherwise, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the property manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
