Tricks and tips to get the perfect Southport vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is high season in the Southport area. To get the largest vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Southport attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. St James Vacation Condo\/TH Rental - Southport NC - Cottage Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
