Tips and Tricks for getting the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Find your best deal:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfect Carolina Beach rental home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Island Retreat: Beautiful oceanfront home with gazebo in West Beach. has 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. If not, contact the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
