The Rental Process

First-timers are often shocked at the range and wide selection of short-term rental properties available in the Southport area. Rental homes are gaining in popularity among vacationers, and visitors will find that the sheer number of vacation rentals available makes it possible to find an optimum retreat to fit their Southport gang, from calm condominiums to larger event homes with several bedrooms.

Rentals are often owner operated or managed by property management companies. For owners not directly involved with the management of their property, management companies are critical in assisting vacationers with booking, checking-in, housekeeping services, as well as routine maintenance issues that may arise.

Seasoned Southport vacationers have identified several tips and tricks over the years with regards to renting rental homes, however most beginners will be happy to realize that many of these "tips" are in plain sight, if you recognize where they should search.

Where to find and reserve the right rental home:

Do you believe "Sound front home with boat slip in the heart of WB!" is the perfect rental for your upcoming visit? Read this checklist to confirm it fits your preferences.

Begin Your Search Early

Southport rental properties are reserved many months (and up to a year) in advance. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended, whenever possible. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental..

Select a Village and Date

Sometimes, the most challenging portion of planning your vacation is deciding where to go, and when. Once the big decisions are hammered out, everything else becomes easier.

Bedrooms and Bed Sizes Matter

Determine who is going, and how many/what type of bedroom configuration you need to have. Try to remember that a lot of rentals advertise maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in the family room. You'll need to figure out what is most appropriate for your party. Most rental listings will outline each of the unit's specific bedrooms and beds.

Determine Your Budget

Will your chosen rental suit your budget during that popular Summer week? Make sure that you get cost-sharing commitments from travel companions prior to booking an expensive rental home. Usually, one person in the group will be liable for making the whole reservation and getting each party's share.

Vacation home Amenities

What property features is your group trying to find? Is a screened-in deck a necessity? Do you desire to be far from the crowds, or near a city setting? Are mattress sheets included with the rental, or will you need to take your own? Make a list of "necessities and wishes" from your company to help filter your search to the most suitable rental.

Special Factors to consider

Occasionally the older generation has challenges with staircases. If wheel chair entry, elevators, pool lifts or other specialized devices are required, factor that into your search. The majority of vacation home postings will include a list of amenities.

Have You Considered 4-Legged Family Members?

Do not forget to include your best friend! While a number of rental homes allow family pets, rules and costs vary per property. A number of restrictions could dismiss a potential rental home. Read your agreement carefully! Additional fees or deposits may be applied to your agreement. Ask questions *well before* you book!

Searching the Internet

Several internet resources exist to match visitors with property owners.. Together with Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we recommend searching Google for "Southport local rental homes" for local property management companies. Local companies frequently have a unique selection of rental homes daily and weekly.

Negotiate

Re-read the description to be certain the home has everything you need. If lacking, the vacation rental management company might know of very similar properties that better fit your wishes and budget..

Some rental owners will negotiate prices, and some won't. If the price isn't negotiable, the number of nights may be. Off-peak weeks should be negotiable more frequently than peak-season..

Study The Agreement

Find out which of the following is included in your quoted rate:

• Utility bills
• WIFI Access
• Long Distance Calls
• Pool and hot tub heating
• Pay Per View Movies
• Cleaning services and housekeeping
• Trash collection
• Maintenance (get a phone number)
• Key exchange
• Parking Fees

In addition to the normal rate, vacationers will have to pay local taxes when booking "Sound front home with boat slip in the heart of WB!", in addition to various other fees which might be required depending on their situation, including an animal charge, early check-in or late check-out fee, or a pool heating fee for private pool usage during the autumn or spring months.

Cancelling your Vacation Property

Cancellation policies are different for each property. Many rental property contracts include an option for trip insurance. Trip insurance, which ordinarily costs between 1% - 5% of the standard rental rate, provides guests with reimbursement of their vacation costs (and subsequent vacation property costs) for any nights missed as a result of personal health related emergencies or weather, in addition to hurricane evacuation costs, such as a unforeseen motel stay or extra gas.

Book your Rental

Once you feel you've identified "the one", begin the booking process. You'll probably have to submit a security deposit at time of booking.

Where to Get Assistance

Put the rental manager's contact information into your cell phone and wallet for easy access to answers during your stay.

Good job on reserving your vacation home! You're on the right path to a fantastic vacation!

During your Stay

• Record the condition of the rental unit right away. If you find property damage, or if repairs are required call the property manager immediately. If there is a dispute about responsibility later, having the documented problems and communication attempts could be useful.
• Ask questions. When there's any ambiguity about vehicle parking, rules of the house, house access, swimming pool functions, etc... we recommend you ask the rental manager immediately. A brief phone call avoids many hassles.
• Please be respectful of the community. . Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking rules can make a visit a lot more relaxing.
• Ask a local. Local people can frequently point you in the right direction.
• Enjoy your stay! Remember to protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental home locked up when you are away, just like you would in your own home.

When its Time to Leave

• Double-check each space of the vacation property to ensure you've gathered all valuables.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental home one last time and check for property damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever feasible (this isn't always the case).. If the property owner is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you love your vacation? Just about all rental management companies and vacation rental websites allow travellers to give reviews. If the rental home and/or property manager was top-notch, they'll appreciate your positive reviews. If anything was unsatisfactory and they didn't fix it in a acceptable manner, or if the rental wasn't as described, you will want to note that as part of your critique.

Use Your Experience

Does everybody want to re-book next year? Maybe everything ended up being ideal and you're all set to re-book the rental for next year. Maybe the rental was not ideal, and you'll better know how to filter your search for the next time.
