Tips for getting the best vacation rental experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Southport. Book your Southport vacation home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to select the best rental:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Serenity in Southport. Family sized home. Pet friendly! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you long to visit, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the property manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
