Tips and Tricks to get the best Southport rental experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Southport area. Booking your Southport vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• In the Southport area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guides have coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by having your group commit to date ranges and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Newly renovated Villas minutes from the beach and historic Southport has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property manager before booking the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is right for your group.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your agreement.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Call the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
