Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Book your rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect vacation home:

• Select your vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. The Cheeky Octopus- Large 5 bedroom on the Canal! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the host before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Record any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to compel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
