Our top Southport rental home tips and tricks:

Get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Southport vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to choose and book the perfectvacation home:

• To start, have your group decide on date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. A Summer's Dream in Carolina Beach - steps to beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you book your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents 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 fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
