Tips and Tricks to get the very best Carolina Beach rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Book your vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick a perfect Carolina Beach rental home:

• Select a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Southport Cottage! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
