Our top Rental home booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Carolina Beach. To find the largest rental home within your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Carolina Beach restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the perfect vacation home in the Carolina Beach area:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Dogs Allowed at Pirates Retreat Carolina Beach Rental has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is best for your vacation group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach attraction you simply love, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually 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 fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
