Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Carolina Beach area. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking the best Carolina Beach rental home:

• To start, have your family select trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Custom, prestigious Southern Living Home on BHI! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. If not, contact the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
