Tips and Tricks for getting the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Carolina Beach. To get the best value, shift your family's Southport vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to pick the perfect rental in the Southport area:

• First and foremost, have your group select vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. The Painted Turtle on the Boardwalk has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Southport destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
