Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental experience:

Finding your best deal:

• To get the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick the perfect Carolina Beach rental:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Float My Boat on the canal in OIB! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the host before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
