Tricks and tips to get the best Southport rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Reserve your Southport rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Southport area visitors guides which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Carolina Times on OKI - Charming House -1\/3 mile from the Sand! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the host before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your visit:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many concerns.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
