Booking the best rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• To book the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing the right Southport rental:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Charming Beach Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your family.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you love, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
