Rental property booking tips:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your Southport vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
Booking websites typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

Start by selecting your a vacation week and a budget.
Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Winds 1 #1B - Sand Castle has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. If they are not listed, email the host before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

During your stay:

Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
During check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
