Tips to get the perfect Carolina Beach rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking the right Carolina Beach rental:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Historic Cottage Across the Street from Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is best for your vacation family.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
