Strategies for getting the best Southport vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• First, have your family decide on date ranges and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Perfect Vacation at Sand Star has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If not, email the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, 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 review.
