Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation property experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. To find the best value, change your family's Carolina Beach vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property 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, selecting, and booking a perfectrental:

• To start, have your family select the best dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Island Park Home on the water! Short walk to beach. Sleeps 9 has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach destination you crave, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• During check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
