Rental home tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, 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 shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best vacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. A Southern Exposure, Beach Front and Lovin’ It! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
