Surrounded by charming trees, you can start your mornings out slow on the calming screened porch with your favorite cup of coffee as the ocean breezes rustle gently through the trees and breathe in the healing salt air. Inside, you will continue to feel a sense of calm as you take in the soothingly decorated beach theme throughout the home. With the open concept floor plan, everybody can be together, even as the chef in the family whips up a special meal. The master bedroom suite is very roomy and offers a whirlpool tub in the private bath so you can relax your cares away. There are also two guest bedrooms - one a bunk bedroom, ideal for the kids - the other offering a queen and a twin single, ideal for a modest family or teenagers. Don' forget about the sizable fenced backyard where you can grille out your catch from a day of fishing at the beach or visit one of the local fresh seafood markets to grab your dinner!

Strategies for getting the best vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Book your Carolina Beach vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 3 BR\/2 BA Home, Minutes to Beach, Pool with Heating, Sleeps 9 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. 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 wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
