Tips for getting the perfect Carolina Beach rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer time is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, try changing your family's Carolina Beach vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning and choosing the perfectvacation home:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Live Like a Local in Carolina Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Have a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss 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 comments.
