Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Southport area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve 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 vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking the perfectrental:

• Start by having your family commit to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Dog-friendly coastal home with fenced in yard, close drive to the beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.

• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review.
