Tips and Tricks to get the very best Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and pick your Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Start by having your family decide on a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 1601-C U @ the Beach: Dog-friendly Home with Spectacular Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property manager before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Know before you go:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
