Strategies to get the optimal rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfect Carolina Beach vacation home:

• First and foremost, have your group choose vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Slice of Paradise, Oceanfront & Boardwalk views has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
