Strategies to get the best rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Booking in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing a perfect Carolina Beach rental:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. 2 Bdrm\/2 Bath Condo, Pool, Elevator, Close To Beach!, Sleeps 7 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property owner before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach attraction you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper 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. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges could be applied to your contract.

During your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied 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! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to drive future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
