How to get the best rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose the perfectvacation home:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Condo Riviere Stay Downtown! Walk everywhere! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
