The comfortable spaces and thoughtful touches extend outside, where you'll find dual-level decks on both the front and back of the home. Watch the sunlight play on the waves as you sway on a classic rocking chair or appreciate an evening drink at the elevated beverage table. Or keep an eye on the kids as they splash in the pool from your choice of the covered lower back porch or open upper sundeck. You can also soak in the rays from your choice of two type of loungers arranged poolside along with Adirondack chairs. Grille up the catch of the day or some thick steaks on the park style grille.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Southport vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• To get the best value, try shifting your family's Southport trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area travel guides which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfect Southport vacation home:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Pelican Pants: Ocean View with Great Beach Access, Private Pool has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you long to visit, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
