Bald Head Island vacation rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, shift your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Selecting and booking the best Southport rental home:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. BHI Coastal Cottage has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
