Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your rental property in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership 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 best rental home:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Desirable Location-4BR\/2BA Ocean View Home-New Private POOL-Sleeps9 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation group.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a particular Southport beach you are crazy about, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
