Our top Sunset Beach rental booking tips:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Dog-friendly coastal home with fenced in yard, close drive to the beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

During your stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
