Strategies for getting the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your family.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
