Only a 5 min. walk down the beach and you'll be grabbing a bite to eat or a cold drink at one of the local eateries, a slushy at Sunset Slush or picking up some saltwater taffy at the local candy shop. For max. relaxation time you'll be rocking away on the comfortable, huge back porch and appreciating a sunrise or sunset view (from late fall to early spring you will savor both sunrises AND sunsets from the back porch on the same day!). Welcome to Life is Shore-t!

Rental home tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a Southport rental home:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Southport area. To book the largest rental home within budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Select dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Dog friendly, oceanfront home 4BR\/2BA, 5 minute walk to main island attractions. 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 generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you love, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to drive future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
