Begin Your Search Early

Southport vacation homes start booking very early. To guarantee the greatest choice of rental homes, we recommend searching and reserving your Southport getaway Six-12 months before your travel dates, whenever you can. A lot of visitors plan to start their search over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve holiday gatherings.

Pick your Town and Vacation Week

Begin by figuring out which particular area of Southport you prefer to browse, and the approximate travel dates.

How Many Beds?

Determine who is traveling, and how many/what type of bedroom arrangement you need to have. Keep in mind that a lot of rental homes advertise maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in the living room. You will need to figure out what is suitable for your company. Precise descriptions of bedrooms and beds are commonly accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you reserve the home.

Stick to a Budget

Confirm that "Bright, Beachfront Family Home w/Central AC, WiFi, Ping-Pong Table, W/D, Deck" fits your price range *during your desired week*. If multiple groups or family members are sharing the cost, check that each group knows their obligation and has approved a maximum they are prepared to pay. A single individual in your group needs to be in charge of collecting contributions and agreeing to responsibility for the whole rental fee at time of booking.

Let's Discuss Amenities

What amenities is your group searching for? Do you only want a vacation rental with a swimming pool, spa tub or beach volleyball court? Do you want to be far from the crowds, or near a city setting? Are items like beach chairs, gas grills, umbrellas, buggies or coolers at your disposal and included with your rental payment? Create a list of priority amenities to guide narrow your search.

Accessability

Optimal access could make or break a trip for the less-mobile. Make sure to remember and inquire about wheelchair access, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs..

Take the Dog

Are you or other people in the gang visiting with a family pet? Pet guidelines are different at each property. Read descriptions carefully.

Negotiate

When you have spotted your dream rental, check to confirm your trip dates are available.

While not true for all rental homes, many property owners and property managers will negotiate rates. If they are hesitant to budge on a peak-season trip, try asking for an additional night. Off-peak weeks will be negotiable more frequently than peak-season..

During your Stay

• Photograph at your arrival. Take notes of any property damage soon after you arrive. Contact the property manager right away to report your observations.
• Ask questions. If there is any ambiguity about parking, policies of the property, house access, pool operation, etc... we advise you ask the rental manager promptly. A phone call can save hours of hassle.
• Please be respectful of the neighborhood. Locals will be as friendly to you as you are respectful of them. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by visitors next to your primary residence.
• Ask a local. Residents are a great source of tips. Who better to ask where to order the best chicken wings, have a great date night, or the best areas for wildlife?
• Enjoy your stay! Make sure that you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the home secured when you are away, exactly like you would at home.

Checking Out

• Check to make sure you've packed all of your possessions. Sweep each room in the house for left-behind items. Check bathrooms, the garage, kitchen cabinets, outdoor patios, the swimming pool area, and anywhere else your gear might "hide".
• Be sure to walk through the rental one final time and check for damages. When possible, do this walk-out review with the property manager present. If the property owner is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How would you feel about your choice? Most rental home management companies and rental search sites allow travellers to give reviews. If the vacation rental and/or property manager was top-notch, they will appreciate your recommendations. If anything went wrong, we suggest being understanding but straightforward in regards to your rental experience. The best owners and managers will work hard to rectify the problem.
