Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental & When to go:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. To book the largest rental home for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your family select dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Ruff Life: Bungalow with Easy Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what is right for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.

• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
