Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, change your family's Carolina Beach vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to the best dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Marsh Madness at Timbercreek 18A has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the host before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
