Tricks and tips to get the best Southport rental experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Booking your Southport vacation rental in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and choosing the best Southport vacation home:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Walk downtown from this beautiful 1850 Antebellum home has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. If not, call the host before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
