Tricks and tips for getting the best vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning, selecting, and booking the bestvacation home:

• Start by having your group choose a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. A charming 4-bedroom waterfront with a private dock retreat that offers a secluded serene getaway! has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If not, contact the property owner before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few problems.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
