Wallet-Friendly Tips

• Many rental owners and rental houses supply Southport area travel guides which feature money-saving offers, either offered independently by vendors, or via a partnership between the property manager and the local store itself. Search for these guides and discount books, as this allows travelers to discover the same fantastic attractions at a often significantly discounted.
• Flexible about when you might travel? Off-peak times offer up remarkable discounts.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Military may be eligible for price reductions. Be sure to ask property owner to see if your travelling crew is eligible for a price reduction.
• Is there a specific activity that you are most anticipating ? Make sure to prioritize your proximity to the activities and places of interest you are most interested in.
• Give thought to purchasing trip insurance with your leasing agreement. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the basic term cost, provides travellers reimbursement of their trip costs for any nights missed due to health-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing extra hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unplanned motel stay or additional gasoline. Trip insurance might just be a bank account-saver if the unforseen happens .

The Rental Process

Newcomers are sometimes shocked at the number and selection of short-term rentals available in the Southport area. With such a wide selection, vacationers are sure to find a rental that fits their wishes and price range.

The vast majority of vacation homes in Southport are privately owned and many are represented by experienced local rental management companies. For property owners not directly engaged in the management of their property, management companies are critical in helping vacationers with reserving, check-in, house cleaning, and any repairs and maintenance problems that may arise.

Below are some tips and techniques to help you understand the rental search and reservation process.

The Sooner You Begin, The Better The Choices

Choose a Village and Time

Consensus can be tricky between family, but as soon as this complicated part is finished everything will quickly drop in place.

Bedrooms and Bed Sizes Matter

Remember that that most properties advertise maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in the living room space. You'll need to determine what is suitable for the party. Generally rental listings will summarize each of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattresses.

Determine Your Budget

Most rental properties are advertised with a price range. Confirm the price for your preferred week. It may be at the top end of the range. Make sure that you get cost-sharing commitments from travel companions well before booking a pricey rental. Most rental agreements require a single person to be responsible for the full reservation.

Its All About Amenities

What amenities is the group searching for? Do you primarily desire a property with a pool, hot tub or volleyball court? Are you more interested in wildlife or night life? Are bed sheets offered with the rental, or do you need to bring your own? Gather a list of prioritized "necessities and wants" from your group to help filter your search to the perfect home.

Accessability

Do individual people in your group have specific needs? If wheel chair entry, elevators, pool lifts or other specialized devices are necessary, factor that into your search. Most rental postings will include a list of amenities.

Paws-Friendly, Please

During your Stay

• Take notes of any damage soon after you arrive. If you find problems, or if repairs are needed contact the home manager right away. If there is a disagreement about legal liability later, having the documented problems and communication attempts will probably be valuable.
• Ask questions. When there is any ambiguity about vehicle parking, policies of the property, house access, pool operations, etc... we recommend you ask the rental home manager immediately. A quick phone call eliminates many complications.
• Be respectful of the local community. . Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your residence.
• Ask a local. Natives are a great source of recommendations.
• Enjoy your stay! Make sure to protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the home locked up while you are away, exactly like you would at home.

Leaving Paradise

• Make certain you've packed everything. Inspect drawers, bath cabinetry and wardrobes.
• Once your things are all out, do a walk-through of the property to verify no property damage occurred in the course of your stay. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever feasible (this may not be possible).. If the property manager is not available, make certain to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your trip? Most vacation rental management companies and rental websites make it easy for customers to give reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was top-notch, they will likely appreciate your recommendations. If anything went wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or when the property wasn't as described, you may want to note that as part of your feedback.

Iterate

Hold a meeting with the people in your group. Did everybody have a good time? Hopefully this guide helped you find a terrific home away from home. If not, you've gained valuable experience to aid with your next search.
