Strategies to get the optimal Carolina Beach rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in Carolina Beach. Reserve your Carolina Beach rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Facing the Beach\/Boardwalk Top Floor Views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
