What We’re Doing for your SAFETY:
Practicing Social Distancing with Keyless Entry – A unique keyless entry code provides the ability to go directly to the vacation rental without the need for person-to-person contact.
Increasing the Rigor of Cleaning Procedures – To provide clean and safe accommodations, following CDC recommendations, we are increasing the rigor of cleaning and disinfecting using EPA-registered household disinfectants. As such, early check-ins and late check-outs are suspended indefinitely. Should you arrive early, please plan to go to the beach or find another activity that keeps you away from the home so the cleaning crew can properly disinfect before your stay. The cleaners ask that you not leave your belongings in the home, or congregate by the pool prior to check in.

How to get the best rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Southport rental home:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Become an AQUAHOLIC in this oceanfront, dog friendly home on Oak Island! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. If not, call the host before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a specific Southport destination you long to visit, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your life at home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
