Tips to get the perfect Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. To book the best rental within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and picking yourvacation home:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 5BR 5BA w\/ Hot Tub, ample Parking, 2 Blocks from Beach, Boardwalk & Downtown! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is best for your trip.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you long to visit, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many concerns.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors 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 on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a excellent time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
