Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking the best Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Cape Fear’s Original 1908 Historic Getaway has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the host immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
