How to find the best Southport vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Southport vacation home in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself.
