How to get the best vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides contain offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning and choosing the bestrental:

• First, have your family choose date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Spacious 4BR Duplex with a Pool! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your life at home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
