The location really can’t be beat: walk to the beach, eateries, bars, coffee stores, stores, and even the seasonal farmers market.

Additional perks include complimentary parking and central AC to keep you cool during those warm summer nights.

Whether you're here to soak up the sun, discover the island, or just kick back in a cozy, centrally located bungalow, this is your ideal home base. Feel the magic of Carolina Beach with all the amenities of home—and a few special extras that make your stay memorable.

Tips to get the perfect Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Southport rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and picking the perfectrental home:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Charming Beach Cottage-1 block to beach\/boardwalk has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Additional considerations:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to 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 wonderful vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address 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 review.
