Strategies for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your Carolina Beach vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides that include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose the right Carolina Beach rental home:

• Begin by selecting your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Freshly Updated Retreat in Midtown has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
