Tricks and tips to get the very best Southport vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Book your Southport rental property in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Bring the entire family and enjoy your stay at Watching the Waves! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the host immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
