Our top Southport vacation rental booking tips:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Holden Beach. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Dog-friendly waterfront house with beach access & fireplace - snowbirds welcome has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is best for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you are crazy about, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• During arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
