Booking the best Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Southport rental home & When to go:

• Booking your Southport vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Southport area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guides have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Carolina Dreamin' An Oceanfront Escape has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you book the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
