Money-saving Tips

• Many property owners and rental properties provide Southport area vacation discount books which include money-saving promotions, either offered individually by vendors, or via a relationship between the property management company and the vendor itself. Keep an eye out for these catalogs and promotional books, as this allows vacationers to enjoy the very same wonderful activities with a sometimes considerable discounted.
• Willing to switch your dates? Off-peak rates are usually a fraction of top fees.
• Are you a armed forces veteran? A number of rental companies offer unique discounts to veterans and active-duty forces. Make sure to check with vacation rental company to see if your travelling gang qualifies for a price reduction.
• Some homes are primarily suited for particular groups of vacationers. Large event homes are perfect for weddings, wedding receptions and corporate escapes. Some homes appeal to beach bums. Other rentals are positioned close to music venues. Be sure to prioritize your proximity to the activities and sight-seeing opportunities you are most interested in.
• Consider obtaining trip insurance along with your lease contract. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the basic stay rate, offers travellers reimbursement of their travel expenses for any missed as a result of personal health-related emergencies or weather, in addition to ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or expenses, such as an unplanned motel stay or additional gasoline. Trip insurance might just be a bank account-saver if the unforseen occurs .

The Rental Process

Some people are shocked to learn the number of rentals are located in their area of interest. Rental homes are gaining in popularity among vacationers, and visitors will find that the sheer number of properties available makes it possible to find an optimum retreat to suit their Southport family, from peaceful condominiums to grand event homes with several bedrooms.

Rental homes are frequently owner operated or managed by property management companies. For owners not directly involved with the management of their home, management companies are instrumental in helping families with booking, checking-in, house cleaning, and any maintenance problems that may arise.

Below are some tips and tactics to help you navigate the vacation rental search and reservation process.

Searching for and booking the right rental property:

Before you start to book "Oceanfront Condo with gorgeous views and Pool", go through our brief list of issues to consider.

Search Early and Frequently

Southport rental homes book several months (and up to a year) in advance. To ensure the greatest selection of vacation homes, we suggest searching and booking your Southport rental 6-Twelve months before your travel dates, whenever feasible. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years are excellent times to find and book your rental home..

Decide on a Village and Time

Start by choosing which particular area of Southport you'd like to explore, and the choose trip dates.

Pick a Size

Confirm who is attending the vacation, and how many/what particular bedroom setup you should have. Be aware that many rentals list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in the living room space. You'll need to determine what is suitable for the party. Specific descriptions of bedrooms and beds are commonly available online. If not, email or call the property manager before you reserve the home.

What Exactly Are You Willing to Spend?

Will your chosen vacation property suit your budget during that preferred Summer week? If multiple individuals or family members are sharing the cost, be certain that each group understands their responsibilities and has approved a maximum they are willing to chip in. Normally, just one member of the group will be responsible for making the whole reservation and recovering each family member's share.

Make a List of "Wishes" and "Requirements"

What amenities is your family searching for? Do you just want a property with a swimming pool, spa tub or volleyball court? Would you like to be away from it all, or close to civilization? Are bedsheets included with the rental, or do you need to provide your own? Gather a list of prioritized "needs and wants" from your group to help filter your search to the most suitable property.

Special Criteria

Sometimes the elder generation has trouble with stairs. Be sure to remember and ask about wheelchair accessibility, pool lifts and special equipment requirements..

Go ahead and Take the Dog

Remember to include your best friend! Although many vacation homes allow cats and dogs, guidelines and charges vary per rental. Type of animal, size and dog breeds might be limited. Read your contract very carefully! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.

Start the Search

Negotiate the Price

When you have identified your dream rental, double check to make sure your travel dates are available.

During your Stay

• Photograph at your arrival. To ensure no damages are attributed to your stay, create a record of any problem areas of the property. If you discover damages, or if fixes are needed get in touch with the rental manager right away. If there is a disagreement about legal responsibility later, having the documented problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• When there is any ambiguity about vehicle parking, rules of the property, property access, swimming pool functions, etc... we suggest you ask the rental manager immediately. A phone call can save hours of difficulties.

• Be sure to protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental home locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.

Checking Out

• Make sure you've packed all your things. Sweep each room in the home for forgotten items. Check bathrooms, the garage, kitchen cabinets, outdoor patios, the pool area, and anywhere else your gear might "hide".
• As soon as everything is out, begin a walk-through of the rental to make sure that no damage occurred during your remain. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (this may not be possible).. If the property manager is not available, make certain you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you enjoy your rental home? Most rental home websites request comments after your stay . Owners and property managers will thank you for favorable critiques. If anything went wrong, we advise being kind but straightforward with regards to your stay. Top owners and managers will try hard to solve the problem.
