THE BEACH:
We may be biased, but we believe it is one of the nicest beaches on the east coast with great sand. The beach is wide and not as busy as most. The Carolina Beach Boardwalk (voted 3rd best boardwalk in the country by USA Today in 2016) is fast walk if you are looking for eateries, bars, and amusement. However, if you would like a more casual low-key vibe, just walk one block to your own stretch of heaven.

• Watch fireworks, movies, and live music on the Boardwalk all summer long
• Visit the Fort Fisher Aquarium
• Sample beers and play Frisbee golf at the island's own microbrewery

• Hike the Carolina Beach State Park
• Rent a 4x4 and have a fire on the beach at Freeman Park

How to get the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and choose the best Southport rental:

• To start, have your family select vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. YOUR CAROLINA BEACH VACATION!!! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you simply love, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
