How to get the best Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Booking your Carolina Beach vacation home in Fall or Spring months is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking the right Carolina Beach rental:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Private middle island home with nature views; modern design with three golf carts has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. If not, call the host before booking your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your group.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or applied to your contract.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Record any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
