Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer months are high season in Carolina Beach. Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area visitors guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Happy as a Clam, in Carolina Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
