Our top Rental home booking tips:

Find your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. To find the best value, shift your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. The Latimer-Charming 3-bedroom Cottage at Wrightsville Beach-Steps to Ocean has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
