How to book the best Southport vacation rental experience:

When to book a Southport rental home & When to go:

• Book your rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Southport area visitor guides that include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the perfect rental:

• First, have your group choose a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Second Chances: Short distance to the surf! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you simply love, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
