Booking the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Carolina Beach. To get the best value, try shifting your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, , and reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area visitors guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property 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 perfect vacation home:

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Oceanfront 2 bedroom condo- Pet Friendly- Mermaids Retreat has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
