How to find the best rental home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Wilmington rental home:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Wilmington. To book the most suitable rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. 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? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with 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.

How to choose the perfect vacation home:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Cape Fear Coastal Hide-A-Way has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you are enamored with, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
