How to book the best Southport rental home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Southport. Book your Southport vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally 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 catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Private home in the heart of St James has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Call the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many difficulties.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
