Tips and Tricks for getting the best vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• To start, have your group agree to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Ocean Haze - Oceanview Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Southport destination you long to visit, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
