Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the perfect rental home:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Welcome to The Wester House on Bald Head Island has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
