Our top Rental home tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental home:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer time is high season in the Southport area. To get the most suitable rental within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking your Southport vacation home:

• Choose dates and budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom 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 vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before booking the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Southport destination you simply love, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
