Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing your Southport rental home:

• Start by having your family choose date ranges and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Smith's Bermuda / 914 E Beach Drive - Coastal Vacation Resorts has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your visit, note any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the property manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
