Tips for getting the best Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your Carolina Beach rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship 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.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Upscale 4 BR Duplex with a Pool! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, email the host before booking your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
