Strategies to get the optimal rental home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing and booking the perfectvacation home:

• Select your vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Blue Cottage: Newly Renovated, Walk to Beach, Pet Friendly, Private Fence has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach beach you crave, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges applied to your agreement.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. text the rental manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
