Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, try changing your family's Carolina Beach trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the 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.

How to select the best vacation rental:

• To start, have your family select the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Chic oceanfront suite for cozy beach getaway has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property owner before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or could be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
