Carolina Beach rental home tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Summertime is high season in Wilmington. To find the most suitable vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain discounts for local tours and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Start by having your family commit to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Perfect Launch Pad to enjoy all that Wilmington has to offer! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If not, reach out to the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
