Getting the best rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Book your Southport vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Truly Unique! 1938 Historic Beach House has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is best for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
