WE _ DO_NOT_RECOMMEND_THIS_STAY_IF_
-Sharing a wall is uncomfortable to you.This listing is COMPLETELY closed off but still attached to our home. If you are looking for a traditional Airbnb experience we would appreciate to have you. If you are looking for additional privacy we suggest booking an entire apartment or bungalow. The door connecting to our portion of the home always remains closed and locked so you have full privacy during your stay.

We live in the main portion of the home with our two rescue pups ( Genevieve our Great Pyrenees and Sapphira our St. Bernard Mix ).Our dogs (sometimes) bark, (sometimes) we get them excited to go places and just be the pups they are, and (sometimes) they rough home. Because of the nearness of the guest suite to the home you might also hear the sound of us talking or other day to day activities. We keep normal family hours (7am-9pm - getting ready for work usually falls within the early hours of 7-9am).

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Southport vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Southport vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the perfect rental home in the Southport area:

• Start by having your group choose the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. The Swan • Fully Private Guest Suite has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. If not, email the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the property manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address 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 comments.
