Tricks and tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit Carolina Beach & When to reserve a rental home:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your Southport vacation in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the best rental:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. A Summer's Dream in Carolina Beach - steps to beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
