Getting the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are high season in Carolina Beach. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental in the Southport area:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Bella Vita, Oceanfront Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property manager before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, 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 it a point as part of your feedback.
