How to book the best rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To get the best value, try changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick your prefect Southport rental home:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Welcome to The Marsh Harbour Inn-Ship Watch has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If not, email the property management company before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
