How to find the best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. Booking your Southport vacation home in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to choose the perfect vacation home:

• To start, have your family commit to the best dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Bring the entire family and enjoy your stay at Watching the Waves! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If there's a specific Southport destination you crave, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. text the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
