Carolina Beach rental home tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• To get the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick the right Carolina Beach rental:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Buckeye Beach House 2 blocks from the beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
