Finding the best rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Bald Head Island. To find the best value, shift your family's Carolina Beach vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefectvacation home:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Beautiful forest home within walking distance to the maritime market and beach!! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. If not, call the property owner before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach beach you love, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, 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 as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
