Search Early and Often

Like many popular hot spots, In Southport the best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months in advance is usually recommended, when possible. Holiday gatherings can be a popular time for family groups to plot their Summer holiday escapes..

Settle on your Place and Vacation Week

Oftentimes, the most challenging portion of organizing your vacation is deciding on where to search, and when. After the big decisions are resolved, everything else will be much easier.

Selecting an Properly-Sized Rental property

How many family members are planning to share your getaway? Remember that that many properties advertise maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in the home's living room. You'll need to determine what is most appropriate for your group. Generally vacation home listings will describe each of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattress sizes.

Have a Spending Limit

Most rental properties are marketed with a price range. Determine the rate for your desired stay. It might be at the high end of the range. If many individuals or family members are sharing the cost, make sure that each group knows their obligation and has approved a maximum they are prepared to chip in. Most rental agreements require a single person to be liable for the entire reservation.

Property Amenities

What home features is the family searching for? Are you looking for a rental with open-air kitchen? Are you more interested in wildlife or night life? Are sheet sets included with the rental contract, or do you need to take your own? Create a list of priority conveniences to help filter your search.

Accessability

Do some people in your group have special needs? Be sure to remember and inquire about wheelchair accessibility, pool lifts and special equipment requirements..

Fido Approved

Are you or other people in the family traveling with a pup? Although quite a few vacation homes allow dogs and cats, guidelines and fees vary per rental. Type of animal, size and dog breeds may be limited. Don't forget to read agreements and contracts carefully. Extra fees or deposits may be applied to your contract. When in doubt, ask the property manager and get it in writing.

The best places to Search

Many internet resources exist to match vacationers with rental owners.. In combination with Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we advise searching Google for "Southport local rentals" for local rental home management companies. Local property management companies take pride in a first-class vacation experience.

Negotiate

Re-read the description to ensure that the vacation home has everything that you need. If it is lacking, the rental management company might know of similar properties that better fit your style and budget..

Some rental owners will negotiate rates, and some will not. If the price isn't negotiable, the number of nights might be. Your easiest chance for a lower rate will be changing to a less desirable week.

Read The Contract

Learn which of the following is included in your quoted rate:

• Power bills

During your Stay

• Take notes of any damages as soon as you arrive. Call the rental manager right away to report your observations. If there is a dispute about responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts should be useful.
• Ask questions. If you have any ambiguity about vehicle parking, rules of the property, condo access, swimming pool operations, etc... we suggest you ask the rental manager immediately. A brief phone call helps prevent many headaches.
• Please be respectful of the local community. Residents often times live within earshot. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by visitors next to your residence.
• Ask a local. Locals can frequently point you in the right direction.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the property locked up when you are away, exactly like you would at home.

Leaving Paradise

• Make sure you've packed all of your personal belongings. Sweep all the rooms in the home for left-behind items. Check bathrooms, the garage, kitchen cabinets, porches, the swimming pool area, and anywhere else your personal property might "hide".
• Be sure to walk through the rental home one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the rental manager whenever you can (this isn't always the case).. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How would you feel about your stay? Virtually all rental home web sites seek feedback after your stay . Rental owners and property managers will thank you for glowing recommendations. If something was wrong and they didn't fix it in a practical manner, or when the rental was not as described, you may want to make it a point in your feedback.

Iterate
