Rental home tips:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Southport attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the best vacation rental in Southport:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. POOL AND PICKLEBALL! Perfectly located 1st floor condo, close to everything has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is suitable for your group.

During your stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.

• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. message the host immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
