Finding the best Southport vacation home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Carolina Beach. Book your Southport rental home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking your Southport vacation home:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Historic Cottage Across the Street from Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If they are not listed, email the host before you book your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
