Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summertime is high season in Carolina Beach. To get the best value, shift your family's Southport vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies supply Southport area travel guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between 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.

Choosing the best rental:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Family and pet friendly 4 bedroom condo 3 minutes from the beach has 4 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
