Finding the best rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by having your family choose vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. When Pigs Fly ~ Fabulous Oceanfront Family Beach Cottage! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
