Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your Carolina Beach vacation home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the perfect rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Oceanfront home with private beach walkway, washer\/dryer, WiFi & AC - dogs OK has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. 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.
