Strategies to get the perfect Southport vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, consider changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay 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 ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which often include special offers, 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 area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the perfect vacation home:

• Choose your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Great Escape - Updated and spacious condo has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your group.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 thoroughly! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Call the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
