Tips to get the perfect rental experience:

When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in Carolina Beach. To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the best vacation home in Carolina Beach:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Facing the Beach\/Boardwalk Top Floor Views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is right for your vacation group.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your contract.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your visit, record any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
