Tips to get the perfect Southport vacation home experience:

Get the best value:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Southport area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best rental home in the Southport area:

• Start by selecting vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Surfside Retreat 5min walk to downtown CB has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's an individual Southport attraction you long to visit, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms 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 fantastic vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
