Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. Book your vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Filter your search:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Second Chances: Short distance to the surf! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish which bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach attraction you crave, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, 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 as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
