Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• To find the largest rental within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Southport restaurants and activities.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. See Otter: Beachwalk cottage in East Beach overlooking the marsh of Davis Canal has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before booking the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Southport beach you are enamored with, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
