Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental 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.

Selecting the best rental in the Southport area:

• First and foremost, have your group select a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Just For The Shell of It! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. text the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix 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.
