Tips to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the best vacation home for your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Carolina Beach restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your group commit to a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Figure Eight Island\/Gorgeous Sunsets Overlooking Sound With Deep Water Dock has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• 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. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
