Strategies to get the optimal Southport rental home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summertime is high season in the Southport area. To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• First, have your group select a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Luxury Home on Middle Island, Bald Head Island has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available online. Otherwise, email the property owner before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. message the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
