Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental experience:

Get the best value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Southport area. To book the largest rental for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Southport attractions.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfectrental:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Riverwatch: 3 Bed\/2 Bath Condo with Covered Porch with Ocean Views and Community has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the host before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the property manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to compel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
