Our top Southport vacation rental tips:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Reserve your Southport rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing your prefectrental home:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Welcome to Saltmarsh Retreat on Bald Head Island! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your stay, note any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
