Rental booking tips:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have deals for local shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and pick the perfectrental:

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Cozy Cottage Near Downtown w/ NO Cleaning Chores has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, 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 feedback.
