Finding the best rental home experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Southport attractions.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Southport area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• Select your vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Good Times and Tan Lines -Best of both worlds- Beach and Pool has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If there's an individual Southport attraction you long to visit, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
