Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. To find the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First, have your group agree to vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. On Holden Beach Island has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Contact the rental manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
