Tricks and tips to get the very best rental home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in Holden Beach. Booking your Carolina Beach vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. 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.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in the Carolina Beach area:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Auster \/ 144 Tuna Drive has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
