Tips and Tricks to get the best rental home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summertime is high season in Bald Head Island. To find the largest rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Southport restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Select your vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. 4BR,4.5BA Nestled in the Maritime Forest has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. Otherwise, call the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is suitable for your trip.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the host right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
