Tips to get the perfect Southport rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Southport area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Reserve your rental property in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking your prefectrental home:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. 5-Minute Walk to Beach & Boardwalk, Private Porch! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you book the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Additional considerations:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
