Rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To get the largest rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Southport attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.

Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
