Tricks and tips to get the perfect Southport rental experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes 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 in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking the rightrental:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. MOTHER'S DAY SPECIAL! Beautiful home & area near restaurants, shops & the beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the host before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area beach you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Advice for a great stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
