Create a list of "Wants" and "Requirements"

What home features is your group searching for? Is a screened deck a necessity? Do you desire to be far from the crowds, or close to a city setting? Are sheets included with the rental contract, or do you need to bring your own? Gather a list of prioritized "needs and wishes" from your company to help filter your search to the most appropriate property.

Accessibility and Special Issues

Optimal accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. If wheel chair access, elevators, pool lifts or other special equipment is needed, include that into your search. Nearly all vacation rental listings will include a list of amenities.

Paws-Friendly, Please

Are you or other members of the group visiting with a pet dog? Although many rental homes allow family pets, guidelines and charges fluctuate per rental. Examine your agreement carefully! Service fees may apply when animals are included. Ask questions *well before* you reserve!

Searching the Internet

Once the area, travel dates and family members are decided, search multiple resources for the best rental home selection. In combination with Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we recommend searching Google for "Southport local rentals" for local rental home management companies. Local rental management companies take pride in a top-quality vacation experience.

Negotiate

Re-read the description to ensure the rental home has everything required. If it is lacking, the home management company may know of very similar homes that fit your style and budget..

Although not true for all rental homes, many rental owners and property managers will negotiate rates. If the rate isn't negotiable, the number of nights might be. This is most effective throughout the off-peak season when many homes sit vacant.

Study the Entire Contract

• Electric bills

Trip insurance, which typically costs ranges from 1% - 5% of your standard rental cost, provides vacationers with reimbursement of their vacation costs (and subsequent vacation property costs) for any days missed due to personal health-related emergencies or storms, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as a unexpected motel stay or additional gas.

Reserve your Vacation Property

When everything seems right, it's finally time to sign a rental agreement. You'll likely be required to submit a security deposit at time of reservation.

Know Who to Call

Be sure to get the property manager's contact phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. We recommend saving the contact's information in your smartphone and wallet.

During your Stay

• Make sure to walk through the rental one last time and look for damage. Whenever possible, do this walk-out inspection with the property manager present. If the property manager is not available, you'll want to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you enjoy your vacation rental? Many rental websites ask for reviews after your stay . Rental owners and property managers will thank you for favorable reviews. If something went wrong, we advise being kind but straightforward about your stay. Top owners and managers will try very hard to fix the situation.
