Strategies for getting the best vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Summer time is high season in the Southport area. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Southport trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Charming Coastal Cottage with 2 Oceanfront Bedrooms has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the host before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you crave, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the property manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
