Tips and Tricks to get the best Southport vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• In the Southport area, The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• To find the best value, consider changing your family's Southport vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Watch the golfers play, quiet forest area, spacious home, BHI has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If not, email or call the host before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Southport destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your visit, note any problem areas upon check in. text the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
