Getting the best Southport vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and pick the rightvacation home:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Candy Store House: Vintage-Wow! Historic Charm Meets Modern Flair Close to Shopp has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
