Tricks and tips to get the best Southport vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, try shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to pick the best vacation rental:

• First, have your group agree to a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Saltwater Pool, Wonderful Island Retreat, 6 Seat Golf Cart Included has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to compel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
