Our top Southport rental home booking tips:

Get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Southport area visitors guides that 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 visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the best vacation rental:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Cheerful Coastal Cottage, Minutes to the Beaches has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or may be applied to your invoice.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to inspire future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
