Strategies to get the optimal vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Bald Head Island rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, try changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking 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 evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing the rightrental home:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Ultimate Bald Head cottage. Shoals Club\/BHI Club access w\/ GOLF. 2 golf carts. has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Traveling with pets? 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your contract.

Tips for your stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
