Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer time is high season in the Southport area. To find the best vacation home within your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Southport restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base 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 or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Practically Perfect on West Beach - Just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear 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 a note as part of your review.
