Our top Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Carolina Beach. To find the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Southport attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental 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.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• First and foremost, have your family select the best dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Miller's Whimsey 10% Off Spring! Classic Oceanfront Cottage, Private Boardwalk to Beach, 2 Decks has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before reserving your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your vacation group.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the rental manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• 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 out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
