Tricks and tips to get the perfect Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is high season in Carolina Beach. Booking in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

How to select the best rental:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. 20% off Summer Reservations Early Bird Special! - Rental in the heart of has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out 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 group have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
