Tips and Tricks to get the very best vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. 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.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental 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.

Planning and picking the perfectrental home:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Truly Unique! 1938 Historic Beach House has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the host right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
