Getting the best rental home experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• To find the largest vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and choose the rightvacation home:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. The Seashell: Charming Bungalow a Short Stroll From the Sand has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a particular Southport beach you simply love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
