Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Southport rental home experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Bald Head Island. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Custom, prestigious Southern Living Home on BHI! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
