Carolina Beach vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the largest vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Southport restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area visitors guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose and book the perfect Southport rental:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Coastal Retreat w Pool and MIL Suite! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before booking the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish which bed configuration is best for your family.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• 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 rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
