Explore family-friendly attractions and activities close by on the island at the North Carolina Aquarium and the Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Museum, two of North Carolina’s most visited attractions.

Feel surf lessons with world class instructors, bicycle through town with the whole family along the Island Greenway ( two adult bicycles supplied,---please bring your riding helmets), hike or savor bird watching in Carolina Beach State Park. You can cast a line off the fishing pier or charter excursion to reel in a great catch. Rent a jet ski, kayak, paddleboard or bicycle from one of the many stores on the island and charter your own outdoor island excursion. The list of activities that offer classic beach and outdoor fun is countless.

The sights and sounds of family fun await you at the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, freshly named one of the most striking boardwalks in America. The summer season brings amusement rides, seasonal live music and weekly fireworks. Appreciate sweet treats ( Britt's Donuts is a must--- they've been on the Boardwalk since the 1930's!), colorful stores with souvenirs and beach gear, oceanside eateries and tiki bars. For Java fans the Boardwalk offers many great options. We appreciate the Crush and Grind. There are just a few vintage boardwalks left in the country, and this one is extraordinary, so be sure to put it on your must do list.

Less than twenty mins. from your beach escape is the thriving port city of Wilmington. Explore the WWII battleship, the USS North Carolina, or Arlie Gardens. Wilmington also features many opportunities for shopping with unique stores in the Cotton Exchange, The Forum, Lumina Station, or Mayfaire. There are a variety of tours downtown in the Historic District, one of the biggest and most photogenic historic districts in the South. The 230-plus blocks hold their own alongside the likes of Charleston and Savannah. Downtown Wilmington also offers the Hall for the Performing Arts, the Kids's Museum of Wilmington, Cape Fear river dinner cruises, and tons of great southern cuisine.

Tips for getting the perfect Southport rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick the best Southport rental:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Pet friendly Ocean views Steps to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or may be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a specific Southport beach you are enamored with, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
