Tips for getting the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• To find the best value, try shifting your family's Carolina Beach vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• To start, have your family select vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Kathy's Dream: Dog-Friendly Home Just One Block from Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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 rental agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
