Tips and Tricks for getting the best vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing and booking your Southport rental:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Parade Rest: Lovely, Coastal Home Centrally Located on Oak Island, NC has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If not, email or call the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is suitable for your trip.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you are enamored with, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
