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

Finding your perfect rental:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your family choose dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Canal-front dog-friendly home near beach with multiple decks, canal view, & dock has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Traveling with pets? 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 property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach attraction you are crazy about, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback 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.
