Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Southport vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Southport area. Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon 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 Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in Carolina Beach:

• Start by having your group choose the best dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Beach Access + Balcony ~ Pets Welcome has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Tips to have a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the property manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good reviews to drive new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
