Getting the best vacation property experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. To get the best value, try changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Ivey Cottage: 5 min to Downtown & Pet Friendly! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
