Strategies to get the very best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. Reserve your rental home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Happy as a Clam, in Carolina Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your contract.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
