Tips for getting the perfect Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Get the best value:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your Carolina Beach rental in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• First and foremost, have your group choose dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. 4BR\/3.5BA House, 2nd Row with Water Views, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 11 has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach attraction you love, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Document any damages to 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 can be useful if a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback 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.
