Finding the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the largest rental home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 the beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. 5 Bedroom 6.5 Bath Duplex, Ocean View, Dog Friendly, Pool, Sleeps 16 has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few concerns.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
