Tips and Tricks to get the best Southport rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Sunset Beach. To get the best value, try shifting your family's Southport vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfect Southport rental home:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. OCEANVIEW, 3 MIN WALK TO BEACH, KID-FRIENDLY, LINENS INCLUDED, FULLY STOCKED has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you are enamored with, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, note any problem areas upon check in. text the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
