Strategies to get the perfect Southport vacation property experience:

When to book a Southport rental & When to go:

• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• To find the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Two Minutes to the Ocean sleeps 4 has 2 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you long to visit, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.

Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation.
