Tips to get the very best Southport vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. To find the best value, change your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or 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 near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to choose the perfect rental in the Southport area:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Fabulous views - right across the street from the beach! has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you are enamored with, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
