Our top Carolina Beach rental home booking tips:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally 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 catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides that include money-saving offers, 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 visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Great living areas with expansive porch, BHI has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you are enamored with, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Contact the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peace. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
