Our top Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your Carolina Beach rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental 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.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide 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 local articles, travel guides have money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Planning and picking the rightrental:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Beautiful forest home within walking distance to the maritime market and beach!! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is suitable for your vacation.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach attraction you long to visit, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.

Additional considerations:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
