This Ocean Front Retreat is within walking distance to the beach and the Carolina Beach Pier. If you wish to discover the island, renting a bicycle or a golf cart is a good way to enjoy the scenery and local attractions.

Rental home tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes 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 host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the best vacation rental:

• Select dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Oceanview Beach Retreat: Updated & Steps to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a great stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, note any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the host right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to compel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
