Our top Rental home booking tips:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking your Southport rental home:

• To start, have your group agree to trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. The Loft at Alley 76\n\n has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If not, contact the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you simply love, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

Know before you go:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Call the host right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
