Finding the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. Book your Carolina Beach rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the perfect vacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Family Tides \/ 702 W Dolphin Drive- Coastal Vacation Resorts has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. text the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
