Tips and Tricks to get the very best Southport rental experience:

Getting the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Bald Head Island. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Southport area visitors guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking a perfectrental home:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Starfish & Coffee, oceanfront, 3-bedroom beach cottage on BHI has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Southport beach you are crazy about, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
