Southport vacation rental booking tips:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summer months are high season in Bald Head Island. To find the best value, consider changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. 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.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your search:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Chic Shellter, Bald Head Island, NC has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If not, email the property management company before booking the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Call the property manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
