Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Summertime is high season in Southport. Reserve your Carolina Beach rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the best vacation rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• To start, have your family choose the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Homey Southport Retreat ~ 8 Mi to Downtown! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
