How to book the best Southport rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Summertime is high season in Holden Beach. To book the best vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Southport vacation home:

• First, have your family agree to trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Original Cottage has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If not, contact the host before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is right for your trip.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
