Tips and Tricks to get the very best Southport vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Southport area. To find the best rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Finding the best vacation home in the Southport area:

• To start, have your family agree to dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. 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 Southport rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
