Strategies for getting the perfect Southport rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 the beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have discounts for local shops and restaurants.

How to choose the best rental in the Southport area:

• To start, have your family select date ranges and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. YOUR CAROLINA BEACH VACATION!!! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to propel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
