How to get the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to book a Carolina Beach rental home & When to go:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, try shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.

Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.

• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
