Getting the best rental home experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the most suitable rental home within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Hobbs Realty - Find your \"Carolina Joy\" in this brand new custom 5-bedroom oceanfront island home! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Call the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss 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 comments.
