Getting the best Southport rental home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Quiet Hideaway Half a Mile to the Beach and Just a Mile from EVERYTHING! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. Otherwise, email the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your group.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Know before you go:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from 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.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
