Strategies to get the optimal Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summertime is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your Carolina Beach vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning and picking your prefectvacation home:

• To start, have your family agree to the best dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Perfect Launch Pad to enjoy all that Wilmington has to offer! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
