Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect rental home experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your Carolina Beach rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. 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 stories, visitor guides have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to select the perfect vacation rental in Holden Beach:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many 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.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If not, contact the property management company before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach destination you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
