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

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfect Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Beach house with private dock and water access via canal and waterway has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
