Tips to get the perfect Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Selecting and booking yourrental home:

• First and foremost, have your family choose a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Cozy, lower unit located in timeless Yaupon and only 800 feet from the beach! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before booking the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
