Tips to get the optimal rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• To find the best value, try changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the best vacation home:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Private Saltwater Pool with Bhi and Shoals Club has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If not, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many difficulties.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. 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 a note as part of your comments.
