Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Sunset Beach vacation home experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To get the most suitable rental within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Southport attractions.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best rental home in the Southport area:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. West End mid-Island Sunset Beach home just 2 to 3 minutes from public beach access. has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the host before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's an individual Southport destination you long to visit, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
