Strategies to get the optimal Southport vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Southport area. Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the perfect rental home:

• First and foremost, have your family choose dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Beach Bum Bungalow: 2 BR, 1 Bath duplex near the boardwalk has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you crave, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
