How to book the best Southport vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Southport area. Reserve your Southport vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.

You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If not, email or call the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Southport attraction you long to visit, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
