As one of North Carolina's most undeveloped beaches, the island offers a unique opportunity to see many diverse coastal wildlife, including pelicans and loggerhead sea turtles, in their natural habitat.

Tips to get the best Southport vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Booking your Southport vacation home in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Pet Friendly with Ocean View in the heart of Carolina Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible online. If not, email the host before booking your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong 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 feedback.
