Tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Southport rental home:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. Book your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect rental:

• First and foremost, have your group choose the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Stay Happy as a Clam – Your Coastal Escape in Carolina Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your family.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
