Tips to get the best Southport vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, , and reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Coastal, Walkable Home in Historic Southport! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or applied to your contract.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More tips for your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas during check in. text the rental manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
