Getting the best vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is an excellent way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. West End mid-Island Sunset Beach home just 2 to 3 minutes from public beach access. has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the host right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
