Tricks and tips to get the optimal Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by having your group commit to a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Sweet and Salty: Coastal Home Near Veteran Parks and the 20th Street Marsh Walk has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
