Strategies to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Elegant beachfront escape with private boardwalk, free WiFi, & furnished balcony has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever 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 excellent stay? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
