Finding the best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing and booking your Southport rental:

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Sound Bite: Ocean View Home with Dock on Eastern Channel! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is right for your group.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the host immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peace. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
