Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation 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 property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting and booking your prefect Southport vacation home:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Heard the Waves - Comfortable, Cozy Oceanfront Beach Cottage! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your group.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your contract.

More considerations:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
