How to book the best vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Southport area. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. 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 the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the best vacation rental:

• To start, have your group agree to dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Beach Barracks: Simple, Oceanfront Home with Large Covered Porch and Dune-top De has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If not, call the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
