How to get the best rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing the best rental in Carolina Beach:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Oceanfront House-Sleeps 8-10 Rec Room and Theater Room has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your group.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Southport destination you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, 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 property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean 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 group have a excellent stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
