Tips to get the perfect Carolina Beach rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in Carolina Beach. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer customers 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 personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning and choosing your prefectvacation home:

• First, have your family commit to trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Happy as a Clam, in Carolina Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. 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 you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
