Our top Vacation rental tips:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summer is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfectrental home:

• Start by having your family choose date ranges and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Amazing Lux Home for Family Vacations\/Weddings\/Golf Trips\/ Corporate Groups has 9 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. Otherwise, contact the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for a great stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few problems.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to stimulate new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
