How to find the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. To get the best value, change your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 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 evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking the rightrental home:

• First, have your family commit to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. New! Close to Beach w Hot Tub! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you simply love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. 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.
