How to find the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summertime is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select vacation dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Comfortable Cottage blocks from the beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
