Strategies to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. Book your Southport vacation in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• In the Southport area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly 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 grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and choosing the best Southport rental:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. OW 8302: Conveniently located condo with pool, elevator and community grilling a has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
