Strategies to get the optimal rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Bald Head Island. To get the best value, try changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. 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 loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve 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 whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select your vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Sea Horse Cottage 2.5 Bedroom BHI Creek Front - Marsh front Expansive vi has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges applied to your contract.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
