THE BEACH:
We may be biased, but we believe it is one of the nicest beaches on the east coast with great sand. The beach is wide and not as busy as most. The Carolina Beach Boardwalk (voted 3rd best boardwalk in the country by USA Today in 2016) is fast walk if you are looking for eateries, bars, and amusement. However, if you would like a more casual low-key vibe, just walk one block to your own stretch of heaven.

THINGS TO DO:
• Watch fireworks, movies, and live music on the Boardwalk all summer long
• Visit the Fort Fisher Aquarium
• Sample beers and play Frisbee golf at the island's own microbrewery
• Charter a fishing boat
• Learn to surf from gold medalist, Tony Silvagni
• Hike the Carolina Beach State Park
• Rent a 4x4 and have a fire on the beach at Freeman Park
• Open water recreation: Kayaks and Stand-up Paddleboards
• Spend a day in Wilmington or take the ferry to Southport
• Savor a cold one at The Fat Pelican, Voted #1 Dive bar in NC

Southport rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking in Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guide magazines that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose the rightrental home:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. YOUR CAROLINA BEACH VACATION!!! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect 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 comments.
