Strategies to get the very best vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Shellease Cottage-\n4 minute walk to the beach!\nGolf Cart available! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. Otherwise, call the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. text the property manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
