Strategies to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Getting the best value:

• In the Southport area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to select the perfect rental:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Morning Light - Featured Home in 2010 Haven Magazine has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the host before you book your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
