Vacation rental booking tips:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, shift your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable 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 on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the best vacation home in Carolina Beach:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Carolina Family Tides: On the water, boat slip, steps from beach, and VIEWS! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
