How to Book a Vacation Home

First-timers are likely to be shocked at the number and wide selection of short term rentals available in the Southport area. Rental accommodations have gained in popularity with the rise of essential search sites like Tripadvisor and VRBO.

Vacation homes are frequently owner operated or managed by property management companies. For property owners not directly engaged in the management of their properties, management companies are critical in helping guests with making reservations, check-in, housekeeping services, as well as repairs and maintenance issues that may arise.

Below are some tips and tactics to help you understand the vacation rental search and booking process.

How to find and book the best rental property:

Do you believe " Spectacular Ocean Views with Private Pool! Beautifully Decorated Rental" is the best rental for your next trip? Look over this check list to ensure it fits all of your preferences.

The Earlier, The Better

Southport rentals start booking very early. To guarantee the very best selection of rental homes, we recommend searching and reserving your Southport rental 6-Twelve months before your travel dates, whenever you can. Holiday gatherings are a great time for family groups to plan their Summer trips..

Find your Spot and Establish Dates

Oftentimes, the most challenging part of planning your trip is choosing where to go, and when. As soon as the big decisions are hammered out, everything else is more straightforward.

Select a Size

How many family members are joining your vacation? Bear in mind that many rentals advertise maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in the living room. You will need to determine what is most appropriate for your company. Generally rental listings will outline each one of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattress sizes.

Stick to a Budget

Make sure " Spectacular Ocean Views with Private Pool! Beautifully Decorated Rental" works with your budget *during your desired week*. If multiple groups or families are sharing the cost, check to make sure each group understands their obligation and has agreed to a maximum they are willing to chip in. Typically, one person in the group will be in charge of making the complete reservation and recovering each party's contribution.

Vacation home Amenities

What amenities is the group trying to find? Are you looking for a rental property with outside lounge? Are you more enthusiastic about a natural landscape or nightlife? Does the property have bikes and beach toys available for use throughout your stay? Create a list of priority amenities to guide filter your search.

Accessability

Do individual members of your crew have specific needs? If wheel chair entry, elevators, pool lifts or other specialized equipment is needed, factor that into your search. Almost all property postings will include a list of amenities.

Your Puppy Deserves a Vacation, Too

Make sure you include your best friend! Even though a number of rental homes allow animal friends, guidelines and charges fluctuate per rental. Type of pet, size and breeds can be restricted. Study your contract carefully! Extra fees or deposits may be applied to your contract. When in doubt, ask the property owner and get it in writing.

Start the Search

. In addition to Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we advise searching Google for "Southport local rentals" for local rental home management companies. Local property management companies pride themselves on an exceptional vacation experience.

Negotiate the Price

Re-read the description to make certain that the vacation home has everything you need. If it is lacking, the vacation rental management company may know of very similar homes that suit your style and budget..

While not true for all rental homes, many rental owners and property managers will make a deal on rates. If the rate isn't negotiable, the number of nights might be. Your greatest chance of a reduced rate is shifting to an off-season week.

Read the Agreement

Read through the complete contract and make sure you fully understand who is responsible for:

• Power bills
• Internet Connectivity
• Telephone service
• Pool Heating
• Cable and pay-per-view TV
• Cleaning Service
• Trash Pickup (and which day?)
• Maintenance (get a phone number)
• Check in & Check Out Key Exchange
• Parking Fees

Get a total that includes taxes, animal and other extra fees.

What is the Cancellation Policy?

Ensure you understand the cancellation policy prior to booking. You'll probably be offered trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base rental price, can provide travellers with reimbursement of their vacation costs (and subsequent rental home costs) for any days missed due to personal hospital emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as a unforeseen hotel stay or additional gas.

Complete the Booking

Once you think you've found "the one", start the booking process. Bear in mind that most rental agreements will require a significant rental down payment and/or security deposit to protect the rental home owner.

Where to Get Help

Make sure that you get the manager's contact phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We suggest keeping the contact's information in your smart phone and wallet.

Congrats on booking your vacation home! You're on the way to a phenomenal vacation!

During your Stay

• To assure no damages are associated with your visit, create a record of any problem areas of the property. Get in touch with the property manager right away to report your observations. If there is a difference of opinion about responsibility later, having the documented problems and contact attempts will probably be very helpful.
• You may need instructions for a fireplace, Television or hot tub. Call your property manager. They are there to help. A brief phone call eliminates many hassles.
• Please remember to respect your neighbors. Locals will likely be as friendly to you as you are respectful of them. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by visitors next to your home.
• Ask a local. Locals are a fantastic source of recommendations.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.

Leaving Paradise

• Make sure that you've packed everything. Check drawers, bath cabinetry and closets.
• Make a point to walk through the rental one last time and check for property damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever feasible (often this isn't possible).. If the property owner is not available, make sure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you enjoy your stay? Most vacation rental management companies and rental home sites make it easy for renters to offer comments. If your rental and/or property manager was excellent, they'll appreciate your positive reviews. If something went wrong, we suggest being pleasant but honest regarding your rental experience. Top owners and managers will work very hard to solve the situation.
