Its Time to Search

A number of websites exist to match guests with rental home owners.. Besides Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we recommend searching Google for "Southport local rental homes" for local rental home management companies. Local agencies often have a unique collection of vacation rentals daily and weekly.

Negotiate the Price

When you've located your dream rental, check to confirm your trip dates are available.

Although not true for all rental properties, many owners and property managers will make a deal on rates. If the rate isn't negotiable, the number of nights may be. Your easiest possibility of a lower rate is changing to a less desirable week.

Study the Total Agreement

• Power bills

Trip Insurance

Cancellation policies are different for each rental. Many rental agreements include an option for trip insurance. Trip insurance, which ordinarily costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the standard rental home rate, can provide vacationers with reimbursement of their vacation costs (and subsequent rental costs) for any days missed resulting from personal hospital emergencies or storms, as well as hurricane evacuation expenses, such as a unexpected motel stay or additional gas.

Book It

Once you believe you've identified "the one", begin the reservation process. Remember that most rental contracts require a significant rental down payment and/or security deposit to safeguard the vacation home owner.

Know Who to Call

• You may need guidance for a gas fireplace, Television or spa tub. Get in touch with your home manager. They are there to assist. A brief phone call eliminates many problems.

• Ask a local. Locals can frequently point you in the right direction.
• Make sure to protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the home secured when you are away, just like you would in your own home.

Check Out Time

• Make a point to walk through the rental one final time and look for damages. Whenever possible, do this walk-out review with the property manager present. If the property manager is not available, make sure you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your trip? Most rental management company websites ask for reviews after your stay is complete. Owners and rental managers will appreciate your positive reviews. If something went wrong, we recommend being kind but genuine with regards to rental experience. The best property owners and managers will work hard to rectify the problem.
