Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose and book yourvacation home:

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Anchor Down - Ocean & Canal Views, Close to Beach Access, Pier, Freeman Park, Outdoor Space, Grill has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
