Our top Vacation rental booking tips:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Summer months are high season in Wilmington. Reserve your vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Downtown Escape - 5 blocks to Riverwalk has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
