Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Southport rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. Reserve your vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Choosing and booking the right Southport rental home:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Island Escape: Cruise in Style with a Golf Cart; Stay at Our 3-Bedroom Townhome! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations for your visit:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
