If adventure is more your thing, why not head over to Oak Island and tour the lighthouse there, or take a grand ferry ride from Deep Point Marina over to Bald Head Island and climb the "Old Baldy" lighthouse for yourself. Savor breath-taking vistas of the entire island from the top! Or you can discover the island by foot, bicycle, or by golf cart, the uniquely standard methods of travel on the island.

If you prefer a more relaxing evening, take a walk along the cozy stores of Historic Southport. Visit the Christmas House. Dine at the famed Provision Company or Fishy Fishy Café, which was featured in the Nicholas Sparks movie, "Safehaven". Then grab an ice cream cone and relax on a swing along the shoreline of Southport Pier and Riverwalk, as you watch the ships go by.

Tricks and tips to get the optimal Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Southport. To find the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing the perfect Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Newly renovated Villas minutes from the beach and historic Southport has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. Otherwise, email the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

During your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of difficulties.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong 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.
