Tips to get the perfect Southport vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best rental home within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Southport attractions.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the perfect vacation home:

• Select your vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Charming Beach Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your family.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Southport attraction you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Call the host immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to inspire new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
