Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.

Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.

• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
