Strategies for getting the perfect Southport rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Oceanfront Dog-Friendly Vacation Rental – Breathtaking Views & Spacious Decks! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your group.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many concerns.
• Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
