Tips to get the best Southport rental home experience:

When to reserve a Southport rental & When to go:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer is high season in Carolina Beach. Book your Southport rental property in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide 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 stories, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Historic Cottage Across the Street from Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation family.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Southport beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, 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 required amenities are available and included before booking

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the host immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address 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.
