Money Saving Strategies

• Many property management companies and vacation rental homes supply Southport area promotional books which feature money-saving coupons, either offered independently by merchants, or via a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. These guides may provide a good start to your rental search.
• Is it possible to switch your vacation week? Off-peak rates are usually a fraction of high pricing.
• Are you a military veteran? Several rental companies provide unique discounts to vets and active-duty servicemembers. Be sure to confirm with property management company to see if your travelling group qualifies for a discounted price.
• Some homes are primarily suited for particular types of vacationers. Event homes are best for weddings, receptions and corporate escapes. Some homes cater to wildlife enthusiasts. Other properties are situated close to nightlife. If there's a certain Southport atteaction that you just love, look for properties that cater especially to your needs.
• Property management companies and individual home owners generally offer clients an opportunity to buy trip insurance coverage. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the basic rental price, offers guests reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed resulting from personal medical related emergencies or hurricanes, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or expenses, like an unplanned hotel room stay or additional gas. Trip insurance might just be a bank account-saver if the unforseen happens (heaven forbid!).

General Rental Home Information

Many people are shocked to discover the number of vacation rentals are available in their area of interest. Rental home accommodations have gained in popularity with the rise of worldwide search sites like Homeaway and VRBO.

Rentals are often owner operated or managed by property management companies. For owners not directly engaged in the management of their properties, management companies are critical in helping families with reserving, check-in, house cleaning, as well as repairs and maintenance issues that may arise.

We've constructed a brief guide to help you get the most out of your rental experience.

Where to find and book a great rental property:

Before you decide to book "Beach Time @ Pelican Watch: 3 BR / 2 BA condo in Carolina Beach, Sleeps 8", review our brief collection of considerations.

Search Early and Often

Southport vacation homes start booking very early. To assure the very best choice of vacation rentals, we suggest searching and reserving your Southport rental Six-Twelve months in advance, whenever feasible. Holiday gatherings are a popular time for families to plot their Summer holiday escapes..

Settle on your Area and Travel Week

Consensus can be difficult among close relatives, but once this tricky part is complete everything will begin to drop in place.

How Many Bedrooms?

Keep a list of attendees. How many beds and bedrooms will you need? Remember that most vacation rentals advertise maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in the home's living room. You'll need to figure out what is suitable for the family. Specific descriptions of bedrooms and beds are usually available online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book.

Stick to a Budget

Make sure that "Beach Time @ Pelican Watch: 3 BR / 2 BA condo in Carolina Beach, Sleeps 8" suits your price range *during your desired dates*. If many groups or families are sharing the cost, make certain each group knows their obligations and has approved a maximum they are willing to chip in. Typically, just one person in the group will be responsible for making the whole reservation and getting each family member's share.

Compose a list of "Preferences" and "Needs"

What amenities is the family looking for? Do you only want a rental with a pool, spa or beach volleyball court? Are you more enthusiastic about a natural landscape or night life? Are items like beach chairs, grills, beach umbrellas, carts or coolers at your disposal and included with your rental home payment? Create a list of priority features to facilitate narrow your search.

Special Concerns

Adequate accessibility can make or break a visit for the less-mobile. If wheel chair entry, elevators, pool lifts or other specialized equipment is needed, include that into your search. Most rental home postings include a list of amenities.

Your Puppy Needs a Holiday, Too

Do not forget to include your companion! While a number of vacation homes allow dogs and cats, rules and charges vary per rental. Read your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or deposits may be applied to your agreement. Ask questions *prior to* you reserve!

Start the Search

Once the area, travel dates and guests are decided, search multiple sources for the very best rental home selection. Besides Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we suggest searching Google for "Southport local vacation homes" for local rental home management companies. Local agencies will often have a unique selection of rental properties daily and weekly.

Negotiate the Price

When you have located your dream rental, double check to make sure your vacation dates are available.

Some rental home owners will negotiate prices, and some won't. If the price isn't negotiable, the number of nights may be. Your greatest chance of a reduced rate will be shifting to a less desirable week.

Cancelling your Rental property
