How to book the best rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Reserve your Southport vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental home:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Portabella Paradise~ Beach, Boardwalk, Fishing, State Park Hiking Trails, Shop! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Southport beach you love, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean 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.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable 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 comments.
