Getting the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides that include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect rental home in the Southport area:

• Select dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Sea-renity at Driftwood Villas has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you book the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the property manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
