How to book the best Southport vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the best vacation rental:

• Select vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Oceanfront Walk to Pier & Restaurants, Shops-Dog Friendly-2 Dogs Allowed has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is right for your group.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. 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.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
