Rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Book your Southport vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Southport area visitor guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Coastal Retreat w Pool and MIL Suite! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address 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.
