How to get the best rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Book your rental in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting and booking your prefect Southport rental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Newly Renovated 5 Bedroom Home on Bald Head Island House in Harbour Village has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, call the host before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, 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 useful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
