Tricks and tips to get the perfect Southport vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. 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 if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking yourrental home:

• Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Cozy Pet Friendly Southern-Style Cottage Steps to the Beach has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you crave, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
