Tricks and tips to get the perfect Southport rental home experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer time is high season in Holden Beach. Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the best vacation rental in the Southport area:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Family & Pet Friendly Beach Home - 2ND Row, Steps From The Beach has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If not, contact the host before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, record any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the host immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
