Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Southport area. To get the largest vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfect Southport rental:

• Start by having your family agree to dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Porch A Lotta, offers panoramic views of the ocean, marsh, and waterway has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If not, contact the property management company before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the host right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix 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.
