Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation home experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early.

• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation 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 host for additional information.

• Did your group have a great time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
