Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Doc House - Charming Ocean + Maritime Forest Home, Private Boardwalk, BHI Club, Near Marina, Pets OK has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or may be applied to your contract.
• If there's a particular Southport beach you are enamored with, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Know before you go:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently 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 fishing?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable 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 feedback.
