Finding the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting and booking your Southport vacation home:

• First, have your family commit to trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Partial ocean view w\/ 6 min walk to beach. 1.5 baths; memory foam bed & futon has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property owner before booking the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently 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?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
