Tips and Tricks to get the best Southport rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Southport area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, 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 grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing and booking the best Southport rental:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The “Tipsy Tuna” is a waterfront home located within 500’ from the ocean! ?? has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property manager before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Southport beach you love, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
