Tips and Tricks to get the very best Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Carolina Beach vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation 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 the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. BEACH HOUSE COTTAGE- 3 min to Beach - Remodeled, 2 screened in porches, big yard has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
