Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your Carolina Beach vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation home.

Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
