Strategies for getting the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Summertime is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Ivey Cottage: 5 min to Downtown & Pet Friendly! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. If not, contact the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for a great stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• To make certain damages are not linked to your visit, record any problem areas during check in. E-mail the rental manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
