Strategies to get the best Southport vacation rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Southport rental home:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Southport area. Book your rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guides have money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Shell House - Less than a block to beach access and newly updated! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before booking the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Advice for a great stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of problems.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon check in. Contact the property manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to drive new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
