Finding the best rental home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. FUN IN THE SUN has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a specific Southport destination you are crazy about, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your visit, record any problem areas when you arrive. Call the host right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address 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.
