Our top Carolina Beach rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to go & When to book:

• Summer is high season in the Southport area. Book your Southport rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 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 gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• 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 whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing and booking a perfect Southport vacation home:

• Start by having your group agree to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 20% off Early Bird Special on 2+ night stay! Bella Vita at Towne Place has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
