Strategies to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your Southport vacation home in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 loved ones at your favorite beach.
• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in the Southport area:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. 2BR/1BA Home - Oceanfront in Holden Beach, Hot Tub, Sleeps 6 has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is often available online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Southport attraction you long to visit, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your contract.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
