How to get the best vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, try shifting your family's Carolina Beach trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Float My Boat on the canal in OIB! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach destination you are enamored with, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
