Tips to get the best vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select your vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Raising the Bar - Oceanfront - Private Pool - Gated Community! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, email the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peace. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
