Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Southport rental experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• To start, have your family decide on the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Custom, prestigious Southern Living Home on BHI! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips for a great stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
