Getting the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Lovely Beach Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
