How to get the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, shift your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning and picking a perfect Southport rental home:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Two Minutes to the Ocean sleeps 4 has 2 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before you book the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or may be applied to your contract.

Know before you go:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
