Tips to get the optimal vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Tranquil Family Home located in Surfman's Walk; private crofter with shoals access has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss 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.
