Reviews:

June 2024 - 10/10 Dream Vacation Home!

We’ve had the enjoyment of staying at this property for our yearly family vacation over the last few years and it never disappoints! The home is furnished elegantly and always spotless. Multiple rooms to choose from with sleeping arrangements for infants and young kids. It is a short golf cart drive to the Bald Head Island Club and when we want to switch it up and spend the days at the Shoals Club, we get to appreciate a handsome breathtaking drive around the coastline. The hosts are always responsive and check in to make sure things are going well. Can’t wait to return again next summer!

Tips and Tricks to get the best rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First, have your group select vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Stunning Home w/Ocean & Golf Course Views - Affordable off season rates has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. 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 vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. Speak to the property manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
