Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Carolina Beach rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in Bald Head Island. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose a perfectrental home:

• Begin by selecting your trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Wonderful Cottage on the Lagoon! 2 Carts, Beach Gear, Wifi. Recently updated and pet friendly! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the host before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you are crazy about, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your agreement.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms 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 inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
