Tricks and tips to get the perfect Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, change your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First, have your family decide on trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Canal-front dog-friendly home near beach with multiple decks, canal view, & dock has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

During your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share 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 manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
