Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Book your Carolina Beach rental property in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides have discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and pick the perfectvacation home:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Family & Pet Friendly on the West End of Sunset Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. text the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
