Tricks and tips to get the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the largest rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Carolina Beach attractions and restaurants.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose and book the best Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oceanfront Walk to Pier & Restaurants, Shops-Dog Friendly-2 Dogs Allowed has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. text the rental manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to propel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
