If you're looking for new and ideal, this is not it—it’s a cool old home in a unique location. The Palm is an early 1900s Victorian home in a cozy, historic neighborhood, just a pleasant walk from eateries, bars, breweries, entertainment, museums, historic walking tours, and the riverfront. Parking is complimentary, simple, and ample on the street in front of the home.

Note: The neighbor upstairs has two dogs, and you may occasionally hear them walking around at nighttime or early in the morning. If you're a light sleeper, please keep this in mind.

Strategies to get the best vacation property experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the largest rental home within budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Southport restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• In the Southport area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking a perfectrental home:

• Select dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. The Palm House *Walk Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible online. If not, email the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out 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.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
