Our top Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your rental home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

How to choose the best rental in the Southport area:

• Start by having your family commit to vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Serenity by the Sea: Nostalgic Oceanfront Home with Room for the Whole Family has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the property manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong 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 comments.
