Tricks and tips to get the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your search:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Marsh views, walking distance to oldest lighthouse in NC has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
