Booking the best rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Booking in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting and booking yourvacation home:

• Start by selecting vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. Adorable guest suite ~ only half a mile straight down the street to BEACH has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach attraction you are crazy about, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix 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.
