Tips and Tricks to get the best Southport vacation rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals 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 in Carolina Beach. Reserve your Southport rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Make a plan and choose yourvacation home:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. A Summer's Dream in Carolina Beach - steps to beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what is right for your vacation group.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a specific Southport beach you long to visit, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• 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 launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
