Tricks and tips to get the perfect Carolina Beach rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is high season in Carolina Beach. To find the best value, change your family's Carolina Beach trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, , and reduced traffic.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the best rental home in the Carolina Beach area:

• To start, have your group commit to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Affordable and Convenient - Walk to Beach - Dogs Allowed has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or might be applied to your invoice.

During your stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
